The ITAP Professional Development Series was created to: provide students with an enhanced awareness of information technology’s impact in the context of society, education, and business; develop the skills needed to apply technology in real-world situations; and contribute to the community of information technology scholars and professionals.
To aid in the development of ITAP students as well-rounded students and professionals, lectures and workshops from three main categories including Information Technology and Society, Skills Development, and Leadership will be offered throughout the year. Examples of possible lecture/workshop topics include: how information technology has changed education (IT & Society), globalization and information technology (IT & Society), Flash training (Skills Development), and leadership training (Leadership).
Students must participate in at least THREE approved events per semester. Students may participate in multiple Skills Development workshops, but only ONE will count toward the Professional Development Series requirement.
Students attending applicable lectures/workshops not included in the Professional Development Series may petition the ITAP administration at least one day prior to the event to receive Professional Development Series credit. In the petition, students must explain how the event accomplishes at least one of the objectives of the Professional Development Series. Approval of all events is made at the discretion of the ITAP administration.
