­T­he College of Business, Economics, and Computing arranged to have information technology hiring managers on site from several companies in the area.  Through that process, I was able to interview with many different organizations in the same day, including Harley-Davidson Motor Company.  The College of Business, Economics, and Computing directly helped me get my first job out of college, with Harley-Davidson, where I spent the next 7.5 years in their Information Services (IS) department.
