LISA Committee
History
At a meeting arranged at the local pizza restaurant, faculty member Dr. Will Venters, Teaching Coordinator Melissa Bridge and a team of volunteer alumni, quickly agreed in early 2008 that there was a gap in the current provision of alumni services for IS students. The ISI Group needed a new platform to connect more closely with their alumni.
That platform, was to be LISA and the fact that you are reading this today is the result of the work of the committee who have voluntarily given time and energy to developing the alumni community.
Minutes of all LISA Committee Meetings will be available here.
