Industrial Advisory Council The ISTeC IAC (Industrial Advisory Council) is composed of representatives of companies located in Colorado that have an interest in information science and technology (IS&T). The IAC was formed so that ISTeC can build and maintain strong interactions with Colorado IS&T industries. The IAC members will be in a position to influence the development and direction of IS&T at CSU. Their familiarity with CSU will allow them to better access students who are potential interns and future employees, as well as to better access the expertise of ISTeC faculty.
