UM Students to Visit High-Tech Advanced Technology Group Missoula Solutions Center in Downtown Missoula

Working as an information systems technology consultant can be fast-paced and fascinating, but somewhat mysterious to students who are pondering going into the profession, according to David Firth, professor of management information systems at the University of Montana School of Business Administration. From 2:30 to 5 p.m. Friday, Oct. 2, Firth will take his students to Advanced Technology Group Missoula Solutions Center http://atginfo.com/about/missoula-solutions-center/ to demystify just what technology consultants do on a day-to-day basis.

Up to 75 students from UM’s School of Business Administration and the Montana Information Systems Association http://www.business.umt.edu/orgs/misa/ will head downtown for an onsite visit to learn how the 60-plus technology consultants at ATG spend their days. After the presentation, students are invited to stay and network at "Club MSC" and learn about the work hard/play hard company culture. Firth has taken his students to visit ATG once a semester for the past three years.
