CPU Club• The purpose of this organization is to provide students with a means for

networking with those already working, or preparing to work, in their chosen field. This can be anyone who plans of becoming IT professionals, support staff, programmers, web developers or technicians. The goals of this organization are to bring together these people for the sharing of information, workshops, seminars and the building of relationships before they begin their career.

We also welcome those that would like to learn from us!  We work to be educators of technology so that all can benefit from computers.

This is also where I put job postings that come in from employers so if students are looking for work they should join our Facebook page.  We will be scheduling our first meeting of the semester shortly.
