Libraries, Computing, and Technology hosted an inaugural MSU IT Conference on Wednesday, August 1, 2007, at the Kellogg Hotel and Conference Center. It was the first of many planned opportunities to recognize and share the creativity and forward thinking contributions information technology, and the people behind the technology, make to Michigan State University (MSU).
It was an opportunity for the people devoting their time and energy to enhancing the technology experience for students, faculty, and staff at MSU to come together as a cohesive group.
The conference showcased expert-led sessions to inform and inspire the growing MSU IT community.
