CICS Students Getting to Work!

CICS students are engaged in a wide range of exciting projects each year, from contributing to the Center redesign project to conducting research and presenting at conferences. These experiences allow students to build valuable skills, gain hands-on experience, and make meaningful contributions both on campus and beyond. 💫

At CICS, there are countless ways to grow academically, professionally, and personally. 📈

This week, Dr. Davison took ICS students to University Green for a golf practice session focused on more than just improving our swing.

This experience highlights the importance of networking and relationship-building in professional environments. While golf may seem unrelated to office work, many business connections and opportunities are built through informal interactions outside the workplace.

One piece of advice that stood out was “A round of golf with a decision maker can be more impactful than a formal sales pitch.”

This was a great reminder that professional success often does not depend only on technical skills, but also on communication, connection, and the informal relationships we build throughout our careers.

Summer semester is in full swing! 🌞😎 Watch CICS students as they begin their 2nd week of classes.

Whether students are attending in-person classes with Dr. Davison (ICS600 – Survey of Management) or are in our online program, CICS graduate students work hard throughout the summer to continue their education. 🎓

Each day brings new challenges and triumphs, so join us in encouraging and congratulating CICS students on their journey! 🎉
