The CIT discipline will be welcoming a new faculty member in the fall of 2010.  Our beloved Bill Smith retired in December 2010 and left a vacant faculty position.  The search committee for the position has been working hard during the year to find the perfect new faculty member that will work best for our program.  We are pleased to welcome Mrs. Shelia Williams to our department.  Mrs. Williams will be teaching Cisco networking, security concepts, and introduction to computers courses.  Congratulations Mrs. Williams and Welcome Aboard!

The CIT Advisory Committee will be holding its annual meeting on Thursday, June 3, 2010.  Agenda items include deletion and addition of courses to the curriculum, documentation of critical thinking in core CIT courses, and the conversion of traditional face-to-face courses to hybrid courses that meet both face-to-face as well as online.

The Computer Information Technology degree program successfully completed its five-year program review on Friday, April 23, 2010.  The program has grown by leaps and bounds and administrators, as well as faculty are continuing work to improve the program through rigorous curriculum enhancements and community involvement.

The spring session of CTS 289: Systems Support Project at CFCC held their final student presentations on Tuesday, May 4, 2010.  Students in the course have worked diligently to incorporate knowledge and skills that they have acquired throughout their years of study under the CIT discipline into a capstone IT project.  Ten students will be completing the course this spring, many of which are graduating in May, 2010.  Congratulations students!
