The Minnesota State IT Center of Excellence provides events throughout the year that offer students, faculty, and industry the opportunity to collaborate and learn more about current issues facing workers in technology.

We invite you to take this opportunity to “Join Us at the Table” because we know that when faculty and industry come together and work with us, the best opportunities are created for our students and the others we serve.
