Any student taking CIT101 this fall will not meet in class this week (September 14 – 17). Professor Doug Weaver has e-mailed all students with tasks to complete. All students will study Chapters 4 and 5, complete the study guides and the labs. Labs may be done at home if students have the necessary equipment. If not, a special open lab time has been arranged in room C123 on M/W from 1:00 – 3:45 and on T/TH from 12:30 – 3:00. Professor Jenny Dawkins will resume classes next week.

The deadline to apply to graduate in December is September 25th. Don’t forget!

CIT 105 (CCNA1) will be offered Spring 2010. Normally we do not offer this course in the spring but due to the record enrollment we will offer it. The second in the Cisco Networking Academy series, CIT 106 (CCNA2) will be offered summer of 2010 in order to allow the spring semester CIT 105 students to get in sync with the regular series. This means that Fall of 2010 CIT 106 (CCNA2) students will be able to continue in CIT 205 (CCNA3).

The WVU-P IT Department is looking for lab techs to work at the Jackson County Center.  If you are interested please call Doug Anthony in the IT department or stop by at the IT department in the main building.  Also, the Red Cross is looking for volunteers to work both the Belpre (August 8th) and Parkersburg (August 22nd) Homecoming parade.  If you would like to help out with either or both of these events, please contact Pam Salvage at the Parkersburg Red Cross or Professor Laura Kerbyson.
