Why Information Technology Now: Interview with Christina C.Wade, Cal Poly Pomona Student Play Now | Play in Popup | DownloadI was in Southern California late last month to participate as a luncheon keynote speaker at the 14th annual Information Technology (ITC) competition taking place at the California State Polytechnic University, Pomona. Students from universities and community colleges competed head on in an all day event.
In addition to supporting the event as a guest speaker, I made it a point to learn more about the ITC Competition from a student perspective and how the event might support IT jobs, innovation and productivity in California.
In this eight minute podcast, I sat down with Christina C.Wade, VP – Internal Affairs of the Marketing for the Management Information Systems Student Association (MISSA) at Cal Poly Pomona.
I walked away inspired by this interview with Christina as she shares her thoughts regarding the value of the competition to business and industry including the students that compete. Christina also makes a compelling case for why students should consider a career in Information Technology (IT) and what California policy decision makers need know and do to support IT education here at home.
