Information Technology Forum Scheduled

January 11, 2005

The Department of Computer and Information Technology (CIT) at Miami University will host a forum on Friday, January 28, to bring together Information Technology employers and educators in the region. The forum will be held from 11:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the Harry T. Wilks Conference Center on the Miami Hamilton Campus, 1601 University Boulevard.

“We are interested in discussing the information technology needs of businesses in southwestern Ohio and what will best prepare graduates for information technology careers,” Miami University CIT Professor Dr. Cathy Bishop-Clark said.

“While our department’s primary mission at this time is associate degree programs, we are interested in hearing about current and future IT needs for all areas and levels of education. Employers, educators and students are invited to come to this forum to share their perspectives,” she added.

The forum’s agenda includes presentations and panel discussions led by industry professionals and educators.
