Member Spotlight: Perris King


Name: Perris King
Degree: MIS
Anticipated graduation date: May 2013

I'm from Fresno California. I'm currently doing an internship at the Indianapolis Museum of Art, working at the Support Center, and job hunting. I enjoy cooking, knitting, reading (like most Slizzards), travelling, and watching movies in my spare time.

I started in the MLS program because I was interested in going into business research, but I eventually realized I was more interested in metadata and electronic publishing. My favorite class so far has been Human Computer Interaction. The instructor (Hamid Ekbia) is great and we got to develop an app focused on improving people's behaviors, which was an interesting challenge.

I'm really enjoying my internship at the IMA and would love to have a job like that where I get to work with large image collections and creative people. I'm also interested in electronic publishing and developing electronic books.
