UI focuses on interface aesthetics, ensuring a cohesive and engaging visual experience, while UX optimizes the overall user journey for enhanced satisfaction. Successful UI/UX seamlessly integrates functionality with an attractive appearance, ensuring smooth and enjoyable interactions. The process involves research, wireframing, prototyping, and iterative testing to refine the design based on user feedback. In the fast-paced digital landscape, effective UI/UX is essential for creating standout digital solutions that positively impact users.

Owning Your Journey

ShareIT Fall 2024 is here! Thanks to the contributions of many in DTS (Digital Technology Solutions) and the Office of Equity and Inclusion, we will be offering a series of sessions focused on: Owning Your Journey.

Last year we focused on the power within each of us to create the future we envision. This year we take it a step further by immersing ourselves in the vast field of Information Technology and understanding what it will take to achieve your vision.

Each week we will:

  • Experience different aspects of IT
  • Talk in depth about what it takes to be successful in each field.
  • Delve into creating your own pathways to achieve your goals.

As we share these stories through the lens of technology and you learn about the latest and greatest in various IT fields, we ask each participant to consider the following:

  • Where do you envision yourself in the broad fields of Information Technology?
  • What steps are required to be successful in that particular field?
  • How will you Own Your Journey towards success?

As a final presentation, students will work in teams to create innovative ideas that explore the pathways they have chosen.
