Picture of me

HELLO.

My name is Thomas Frank, and I'm a sophomore at Iowa State University studying management information systems. I currently work for Iowa State in both its IT Services department and its New Student Programs office. I'm also the webmaster for the the Iowa State University Business Council. In my free time, I write and maintain the blog College Info Geek, design web sites, and read extensively.

What I've been up to:

  • Created MISRocks.com, a site for students interested in Iowa State's MIS program

  • Coordinated a money management session with national speaker Grant Baldwin as part of the Destination Iowa State program

  • Established the college advice blog College Info Geek
