We at the AITP would like to welcome you back and thank you for your past participation. We will be holding our first general meeting on Friday August 31 at noon (12:00) in COBA 609. We’re even providing lunch!

This is a general meeting open to anyone that is interested so please bring you friends!

If you can not make it, please feel free to email us and we will try to meet with you directly.

Greetings everyone!  Welcome to the last full month of the semester.  As the end of the term draws ever closer, we wanted to let you know about our sunset plans, as well our meetings from here until the end.

First, officer elections will be held during the meeting Friday, April 27th.  New officers will assume their duties the first day of the fall semester, but will be included in events until then.  If you are interested in running for one of the three positions, review the constitution to see the duties of the office.  We’ll also be inviting interested persons to sit in on executive meetings over the next couple weeks.  If you have any questions, send them here.

Also, if you attended our last Python presentation by Dr. Nerur, you can download the slides from that presentation so you can practice if you like.

Here’s a list of meetings we’re planning for you guys through the end of the Spring semester.  As always, if you’re not a member, you can always join at the door.
