FAYETTEVILLE — The University of Arkansas’ Information Technology Research Institute and the Department of Information Systems in the Sam M. Walton College of Business will sponsor IT Day for Parents and Educators on Dec. 3.
The program, designed for parents, educators, teachers and counselors, will be from 6 to 8 p.m. at Willard J. Walker Hall, room 203.
“We are very excited to be able to present such a program for parents and educators,” said Moez Limayem, chairman of the information systems department. “Despite the economy, we want to reinforce that IT jobs are still hot, and that opportunities in the high growth tech sector are plentiful, and not being shipped overseas.”
