UT Arlington was represented by three student members at this weekend’s AITP National Collegiate Conference in Memphis, Tennessee. Burin Asavesna, Armando Hernandez, and John Jelinek made the trip across the Mississippi river to participate in IT competitions, learn from a great panel of speakers and enjoy the lively Memphis scene. The group made a strong showing in competitions that ranged from banner design to PC Troubleshooting. Burin Asavesna and Armando Hernandez earned a 3rd Place finish in Systems Analysis and Design, beating out over 20 other teams from across the nation. Next year’s event will be held in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma and will provide the perfect opportunity to build on this year’s success.

AITP’s National Collegiate Conference (NCC) is just around the corner! This year’s conference will be held in Memphis, Tennessee from March 27-29, 2008. The event includes competitions from PC Troubleshooting to Application Development with plenty of exhibitions and networking opportunities in between.
