Guess who’s coming

admin October 14th, 2008

Guilford County SchoolsWith some hard work by Sylvia Anderson (Director of College Tech Prep and more at GCS) and all the teachers, administrators and staff at the Weaver Academy, we have 100 top IT high school students joining us for ConvergeSouth this year. Our generous sponsors have made this opportunity available to the Tech Prep IT-track young folks in Guilford County Schools. We had a lot of logistics to work out - including enormous gas prices for buses, coordination with their home high schools, and expected paperwork, but when there’s a will (and Sylvia Anderson), there’s a way. Please welcome the high schoolers when you see them. They can probably fix your home computer!

[Full disclosure: Sue used to chair the Business & Industry Council for IT - College Tech Prep - and was ably assisted for 1 of the 4 years by Ben]
