Being on the executive board for ISAP (Information Systems and Analytics Professionals) at Ohio University involves planning, organizing, and managing events that benefit students interested in information systems and analytics. As an exec member, you work collaboratively with other members on exec to create opportunities for members to connect with industry professionals, enhance their technical and analytical skills, and learn about the industry.
Beyond the professional connections and events, being on exec is a hands-on way to build leadership and teamwork skills. Working together to bring these ideas to life challenges you to communicate effectively, make group decisions, and adapt when plans change.

Meet the President: Will Pfiffner
My name is Will Pfiffner, and I’m a senior at Ohio University studying Management Information Systems and Business Analytics, graduating a year early after completing my degree in just three years. I joined ISAP in 2024 and quickly became involved as Director of Alumni Relations, where I managed our alumni database, strengthened alumni connections, and created the monthly alumni newsletter. A year later, I was elected President of ISAP, where I oversee the organization’s operations, lead meetings, coordinate corporate engagement opportunities, and represent ISAP across the College of Business. I chose to become president because ISAP has played such a meaningful role in my college experience through the people, opportunities, and professional connections it has provided. My goal is to give back by helping current and future members build those same relationships, gain valuable experiences, and set themselves up for success after graduation.

Hi, I'm Palak Singhal, a junior majoring in Business Analytics, Management Information Systems, and Entrepreneurship. I currently serve as the Vice President of Operations for ISAP, where I lead and support a team of five directors overseeing key areas including Membership, Professional Development, Professional Relations, Web Administration, and the Membership Chair role.
Prior to this position, I served as the Director of Professional Development, where my primary focus was helping ISAP members grow both their technical and professional skill sets. Through workshops, networking opportunities, and career-focused events, I worked to create meaningful development opportunities that supported members throughout their college journey.
One of the most rewarding events I organized was the ISAP Case Competition, where six teams of four to six students competed to develop and present innovative business solutions for an Airbnb case study. Faculty members served as judges, providing valuable industry and academic perspectives. In this role, I managed the event from start to finish, coordinating logistics, collaborating with multiple stakeholders, and leading workshops to prepare participants for success. This experience strengthened my skills in project management, leadership, event planning, and cross-functional collaboration while creating a memorable learning experience for our members.
Through my leadership roles in ISAP, I have developed a passion for empowering others, building strong professional communities, and creating opportunities that help students grow both personally and professionally.

ISAP for me has been an amazing way to meet and bond with new people within the niche AIS portion of the college of business. This has helped when needing direction on my career path or even just seeing familiar faces in many of my classes. Another great aspect this organization has provided me with is the face-to-face interactions with corporate people. We have awesome companies come in throughout the semester to give us insights into what we can do with our degree. Additionally, once per semester, we take networking trips where we get even better personalized experiences with corporate America.

Gained from my time at ISAP:
I joined ISAP my freshman fall because I wanted to know what people with my major actually do after graduation. I stayed because of the people.
