The MSIS degree: perspectives from employers

In this video, Mark Zozulia, retired partner of Deloitte, explains why his firm seeks out MSIS students—and why those students succeed.

Description of the video:

00:00.820 --> 00:03.190
- I'm a partner with Deloitte Consulting

00:03.190 --> 00:05.750
out of our Chicago office

00:05.750 --> 00:09.030
and I'm also the
technology recruiting lead

00:09.030 --> 00:10.350
for Indiana University

00:10.350 --> 00:12.450
and I've been doing that
for more than 10 years now

00:12.450 --> 00:15.830
and I've hired a number of great students

00:15.830 --> 00:17.030
and I've gotten to now

00:17.030 --> 00:18.840
the business school quite well.

00:18.840 --> 00:22.010
I do think that the extra year spent

00:22.010 --> 00:23.600
to get that MSIS degree

00:23.600 --> 00:26.070
for us in our technology practice

00:26.070 --> 00:28.310
gives that potential employee

00:28.310 --> 00:31.700
such a leap ahead with what
they learn in that year

00:31.700 --> 00:32.533
and then they get

00:32.533 --> 00:34.920
such an exposure to a
breadth of technology.

00:34.920 --> 00:36.210
Over the last few years

00:36.210 --> 00:38.510
you've done a great job of bringing in

00:38.510 --> 00:40.860
from other parts of the university

00:40.860 --> 00:42.830
people with very diverse backgrounds

00:42.830 --> 00:45.150
and what I would say to
that at the end of the day

00:45.150 --> 00:47.330
is we like the diversity
in the backgrounds

00:47.330 --> 00:48.720
because it challenges

00:48.720 --> 00:50.530
and you need people from
different backgrounds

00:50.530 --> 00:51.410
and different disciplines

00:51.410 --> 00:54.020
that look at problem solving differently

00:54.020 --> 00:55.780
and I think that's what
it brings to the table

00:55.780 --> 00:58.160
and I think you give them that opportunity

00:58.160 --> 01:01.818
to really take a very unique background

01:01.818 --> 01:03.810
and apply it to technology,

01:03.810 --> 01:05.010
learn about the technology

01:05.010 --> 01:07.840
and I think a lot of
those folks do fabulous

01:07.840 --> 01:10.250
with our firm and your program.

01:10.250 --> 01:11.870
You adapt your curriculum,

01:11.870 --> 01:13.910
you adapt your programs

01:13.910 --> 01:17.540
to train students to
understand what we need

01:17.540 --> 01:19.730
and quite honestly meet the culture

01:19.730 --> 01:20.750
that we're looking for

01:20.750 --> 01:23.240
and that's the greatest thing that we see

01:23.240 --> 01:25.470
and why the students from the MSIS program

01:25.470 --> 01:27.010
have done so well with us

01:27.010 --> 01:29.310
is the culture that you teach them

01:29.310 --> 01:31.170
fits very nicely with our culture,

01:31.170 --> 01:32.950
that style of working in groups

01:32.950 --> 01:34.570
and working collaboratively

01:34.570 --> 01:37.190
and the technology skills
that you give them,

01:37.190 --> 01:39.190
it is just tremendous.
