On the iSchool undergraduate program at Syracuse University

Susan Bonzi, the director of the iSchool undergraduate program at Syracuse University, shared state of that program with us: its history, structure, and challenges.

1-minute Madness

We ran a 1-minute madness session today. A dozen iSchool doctoral students gave a 1-minute introductions and/or teasers to their current research or other half-baked ideas that they had. Topics included:

What is a UW Information Science dissertation?

Bob ran a panel with current PhD Candidates (4th and 5th years) and professors, asking: What makes a good Information Science dissertation?

Each of the current students told the story of how they picked their topic. The professors then shared their expectations for a dissertation.
