Teaching in the MSIS program
“I’m extremely fond of the MSIS program,” Dennis says. “It was 2002 when I first taught the MSIS program. I have looked forward to teaching classes every day ever since. I would attribute this to the exceptionally brilliant students I get to interact with every year.
“I walk in with the intent of teaching and somehow end up learning more. I’ve been fortunate to work with such sharp minds around me who ask questions that force me to think beyond the box. MSIS is truly a close-knit community, and I’m very glad to be a part of it.”
Kelley MSIS students, according to him, know no bounds. “Tenacity, perseverance, and willingness to learn always win here.”
