Support the MISA Student Club !!!
Why We Need Your Support
The funds raised for this year’s MIS Give Day will support our MIS student club, the MIS Association (MISA). MISA is an active club with outstanding student leaders who organize weekly events to support student professional development. Unfortunately, since the pandemic, the university funding for WWU’s student clubs has decreased significantly. Your donation will allow MISA to support our students without requiring extra fees for dues. We need your help!
2023-24 MISA President Valentina Poljakov & MISA Web Developer Tim Hutkowski
“MISA has been a new and exciting experience for me. MISA has allowed me to gain leadership skills and grow these skills with confidence. I’ve not only learned about the field but made connections with alumni and my peers. I’m incredibly grateful to serve as this year's MISA President.”
- Valentina Poljakov, MISA President
The Impact of Your Support
By investing in MISA, you contribute directly to fostering a dynamic learning environment where students gain hands-on experience, develop leadership skills, and forge valuable connections within the industry. Your generosity will enable MISA to host technical workshops, case competitions, and networking events.
Our Goal
Our goal is to raise $2,500. Donations of any size are welcome and appreciated!
Donation Matching
Donations made during this year's WWU Give Day/Week may be matched as follows:
- The first $250 in gifts to the MIS program will be matched dollar for dollar by one of the program's supporters (up to $50 per donor).
- Other gifts may be matched through other WWU Give Day matching opportunities.
- Does your employer match gifts to a university? If so, then your employer may be able to match a portion of your donation.
Thank you for your support -- your gift will make a difference to our students!

& MISA Member Kanta Hamasaki
“Through MISA, I've had the opportunity to network with professionals in the field and gain valuable insights into the industry. These connections played a crucial role in helping me secure an internship. MISA has not only enhanced my understanding of MIS but has also equipped me with the skills and knowledge needed to excel in the field. I am incredibly grateful for the opportunities it has provided me.”
- Haris Farooqi, MISA IT Manager
“It’s cool that I can make professional connections through MISA meetings. I connected with a guest speaker on LinkedIn, and I was able to get an interview within their company.”
- Kanta Hamasaki, MISA Member
MIS at WWU
To prepare our students for their careers, WWU's MIS program provides a solid foundation of concepts and skills, combined with hands-on assignments and projects. The classwork is supplemented with extracurricular opportunities to promote professional and career readiness.
