Bert taught a class Saturday for VCU’s Executive Masters in Information Systems program. This is an accelerated program for working professionals which results in a Master's Degree in Information Systems. The program is one of only 2 offered in the state. The course is “Enterprise Systems” and this particular class was “The Package Evaluation Process.” Bert lectured on systems selection methodologies and best practices. He also participated in a panel Q&A on the topic along with the CIO from Media General (Richmond Times-Dispatch) and Interbake Foods (Girl Scout cookies).
A former colleague of Bert’s, Wayne Puglisi, CIO of CF Sauer Company (of Duke's mayonnaise fame), works regularly with the class and talked Bert into giving up his Saturday to participate. Bert was happy to comply, filling the young skulls full of mush with his superior wisdom.
Dr. Richard Redmond, Chairman of the Department of Information Systems said that this type of interaction with the business community is the most popular aspect of this program. He was grateful for everyone’s participation and was hopeful that Bert would return in the future to enlighten his students!
Bert can now put "Associate Professor" on his resume!
