BSIST Students and Alumni Engage with CIOs at Executive Technology Forum

Just ahead of Spring Break, several graduating seniors and alumni from the BSIST program joined Teaching Faculty J. Dietenberger at the United CIO Forum, held in the Pfister Ballroom. This executive technology conference provided a unique opportunity for students to participate in discussions on key industry topics, including:

Creating a Culture of IT Innovation
Information Technology Change Leadership
IT for Good

Through roundtable dialogues, students actively engaged with over 100 CIOs and executive IT leaders, gaining valuable insights into networking, career development, and hiring trends. This experience allowed them to connect their classroom learning with real-world executive discussions while representing SOIS as future professionals in the industry.

Pictured are BSIST students and alumni alongside faculty member J. Dietenberger and distinguished CIOs, including Lois Gresholdt (retired CIO, U.S. Bank and UWM Panther), David Cagigal (former CIO, State of Wisconsin), Tim Dickson (CIDO, Regal Rexnord), Lena DeLaet (Director, Summerfest Tech & recent MKE 30 Awardee), and many other leading CIOs, CISOs, and CTOs.
