For website and some database projects, we partner with the University of Texas MIS Systems Development Practicum. The class teaches Management Information Systems concepts and techniques related to software development. The class culminates in a 10-week, pro bono system development project. Projects, if selected by the students, are addressed either in the Fall or Spring semester.
Note: Due to lack of graphic designers in the job club, we do not accept graphic design requests. Grants assistance has never been an option as grant research is very intensive and grant writers are either employed by a nonprofit or foundation, or are freelance and do not volunteer their time.
