Johnny Hodge, AITP President, Mai Hieu Bui, Jeanette Schofield, and Crystal Najera along with Mr. Voit and Mr. Brozovic attended the AITP National meeting in Dallas. The students competed in programming contests and attended the job fair. Johnny Hodge was actually interviewed by USAA (an extremely large Insurance and Investment company in San Antonio ) and has been granted a second interview! Perhaps he'll join the ranks of Jeremy Whitley, '98 Computer Science alumnus! We were told by the USAA recruiter that Jeremy is now manager of one of their IT areas! The FBI recruiter was very interested in Mai Hieu Bui's Biology major with a Computer Science minor.
