Looking for an Extracurricular Activity?


This week I thought I'd share an exciting opportunity with the class. More specifically it's group of your peers that come together every other week to talk specifically about IT-related issues. Still not sure about what I am eluding to? Well of course it is the Global IT Club!!!

I am the Public Relations Officer for the club and thought this would be a good place to inform some of my fellow classmates that are unaware that the club exists. Actually our class is very lucky because there are three other officers in the class besides me. Chris being our President, Jahnavi our secretary and Jenelle our Vice President. Also Professor Drake happens to be our faculty advisor.

Our club is all about helping us IT students learn more about careers and actually gives special opportunities to talk to employers in a more casual setting compared to a high stressed Career Fair. Last semester alone we had employees/recruiters from Google, Switchback, Michigan Department of Information Technology, and Deloitte come and answer questions about career opportunities at their companies. We hope to have even more employees come in this semester. And we have a field trip planned to go to Menlo Innovations on March 26th. We also have done some community service. A group of us helped out Meals On Wheels a couple of weeks ago and it turned out to be a really great time. We will be looking to do at least one more type of community service before the end of the semester. If you have any questions about the club, you can ask any one of our officers in class. We plan on having our next meeting next week Wednesday. Also look for us on Facebook and join our newly acquired webpage on the EMU Student Orgs website.

  1. Greg! Thank you so much! You are my hero! You've taken your job to a new level. I feel like all that we are doing will come together really soon. I'm also very excited to finally be recognized by the University and not just by the College of Business. As you already know, there are mor events to come and meals on wheels was a blast, young blood. LOL

  2. I think its great that we have four officers in this class for the Global IT.

    I have been to a couple of the meetings with the Google and Deloitte speakers. It was helpful to listen and see what they were about and what they were looking for.

    If professor Drake is your faculty advisor, do you automatically get extra credit? Lol. Just having fun.
