The role of the University is being expanded to address job issues faced by upperclassmen majoring in Computer Science and Computer Information Systems. Two Oklahoma universities are collaborating to meet student needs using an Internet interface. Faculty in the programs at both universities recognized a need to help their students develop an awareness of today's workplace environment. The solution was a web based electronic interface and meeting site. As a cooperative endeavor between two geographically challenged state schools, it has also helped students begin to network with their future IS professional peers.
