2009 Computer Science and Information Technology (CSIT) Symposium

[Alfred Thompson [MSFT]]

I got this announcement about the CS & IT symposium held in conjunction with
NECC again this year and thought I should share it. Yes, I’ll be there and
yes, I’ll be presenting. Anita Verno and I will be talking about
certifications in computer fields that students can work towards. It should
be a good event – all the previous ones have been.

More than half of the spots are already filled for the 2009 Computer Science
and Information Technology (CSIT) Symposium!

CSIT 09, CSTA’s annual conference for computer science and informational
