Extreme IT 2013
North Carolina A&T's Extreme IT Day 2013
School of Technology cordially invites you to the fourth annual Extreme IT Day on the NC A & T Campus on March 20, 2013. The purpose of Extreme IT Day is to introduce high school and college students to enterprise computing technologies, including the mainframe and cloud. We are looking for students who are interested in information technology from the disciplines of computer science, information systems, engineering, accounting/finance, marketing and others. Corporate participants last year included: IBM, Red Hat, SAS, Wells-Fargo, BB & T, Bank of America, Clear Blade, and many others.
There will be a keynote speaker "to be announced" and presentations and activities sponsored by participating companies. High schools participating will be from Greensboro, Winston-Salem, High Point, Charlotte, Durham, and Eastern NC. This will be a one-day event, with the focus on high schools in the morning and the colleges in the afternoon. Start time will be around 9 am, end time for high schools is 1PM. There will be a “New Mainframer's Panel” consisting of recent graduates working in the field. Please identify any new hires in your organizations that might want to be a part of the panel. They will explain to the audience what they do and how they got where they are.
An interesting addition this year will be a “Career Expo” where organizations that use enterprise systems will be able to directly interact with the best and the brightest college students from NC A & T and other participating colleges. These organizations will be able to make presentations, demonstrations, receive resumes, interview students or use the time in any way they find productive in identifying the next group of enterprise systems superstars. The Mini Career Fair will be from 1-5 PM. Last year we had 400+ students from high schools and colleges. Dennis Rose, Deputy CIO of the City of Atlanta, was our keynote speaker, and presentations were made by IBM, Red Hat, SAS, Clear Blade, Cisco and other companies.
We look forward to your participation.
