Rupali is currently a Senior at GMU. She grew up in Virginia and decided to begin her collegiate career GMU. As a Freshman, she switched to ISOM and soon became confident in her decision. MIS classes were captivating and relevant due to the technologically heavy material as opposed to other business school courses. She joined Delta Sigma Pi, a professional business Fraternity, in which she served as Vice President. Her favorite classes were MIS courses because the information was relevant to her field and interesting. She is expected to graduate one semester early in Winter 2020.

"My experience as a student in Professor Ngac's MIS 330 class was great. He brings a much-needed youthful energy to the MIS department and provided relevant and informative substance throughout the course. I really appreciated that he would tie class content to a real-life example, because that made the content feel more tangible for students. He was very helpful throughout the group project and gave helpful constructive criticism. His class gave me much more insight into real world systems analysis applications compared to others in my PwC internship program."
