On September 18th, 2019 I was able to two have two teammates talk to the 3710 Entrepreneurial class. This was a chance to highlight the internal Intrapreneurial program, but also give an overview of some of the other innovation activities that we do in the organization.
Before the 2019 CBA Career Fair we made a class room visit.
The Management Information Systems Student Organization (MISSO) is a student group at University of Nebraska-Omaha. MISSO has a general meeting once a month, usually featuring a guest speaker. This past Friday September 13th. Myself and Joni Stewart were the guest speakers at the September meeting. I also wanted this spot because of talking about Internships and Technology Works here event.
I had set up this visit in early August by emailing the Professor Dr. Paul Van Vliet.
The MISSO group does a good job of advertising the meeting. About a month before the meeting I was asked for a topic. The topic I wanted to talk about was UX in my development process. Here is the abstract:
This month our guest speaker will be Anthony Carlson, a UNO graduate and lead application developer with Farm Credit Services of America. His software journey has been through various forms of service-oriented architecture for client and web applications. As a member of the first team at Farm Credit Services to use an agile methodology for software development, Anthony helped champion practices such as test-driven development and service-level testing. Currently, he is part of the Customer Solutions team where his focus is on iOS, Android, and responsive platforms.
Anthony’s talk is entitled
“How do I include UX in my development process?” How do we know if our software efforts are on the right track? Finding the answers to these questions doesn’t need to be scary, your users want to tell you everything you need to know to be successful. Anthony Carlson Lead Application Developer will explain how to build simple UX practices into any software development processes. Learn real world examples on how to effectively engage your customers and development team with UX basics, when to apply them and how to plan for them.
They take my topic and make a nice graphic to be shared on social media.
At the UNO IT Career Fair on Wednesday I took a selfie in front of the MISSO flier inside PKI. This was going to be
my social Media post.
I arrived right around 4:30 p.m. to set up.
I also want to make sure my presentation Would work. I also brought the following
I sponsor Pizza for the group which comes in under $100.00 The group doesn’t charge fees and helping out leaves a good impression of our company. Always remember to get vegetarian pizza.
I got us rolling right at 5:00 p.m.
Joni started the talk with Internships and “Works Here” Video
I did a presentation on UX in the development process. The group asked good questions about the process.
The next day we got a thank you email.
Another great event to build relationships with UNO.
