Welcome back Bobcats!

Join us for Geek Week Spring 2025 with a new event tomorrow with the McCoy Student Success Center!

Next week, we will have our first two chapter meetings where we will have guest speaker Brooke Grammier and we will discuss our upcoming USITCC Nationals Competition! Then on Thursday, we will have our first social at George’s in the LBJ Student Center.

Change is in the air for ITSA, and while it’s bittersweet to bid farewell to our outgoing officers, it’s also an exciting time to welcome fresh faces and ideas. This week, the ITSA Officer Team gathered for their transition meeting, where the incoming officers received hands-on training from their predecessors. Together, they discussed plans and set the vision for ITSA’s future as we head into the Spring 2025 semester.

Before we introduce the new leadership team, we want to take a moment to celebrate our graduating officers. Your dedication, hard work, and contributions have been instrumental in shaping ITSA’s success. From all of us, thank you for everything. We wish you all the best in your next adventures and beyond!

Hey everyone! 👋

Exciting news – we’re switching over to a brand-new Discord server today! It’s going to feel similar to the old Teams and Discord servers you’re familiar with, but with even more features and resources for you to enjoy.

In this server, you’ll find:

• Preparation sessions for upcoming competitions
• Gaming and social events to hang out with fellow members
• Helpful resources and ISA class assistance to support your studies
• Updates on the Organization‘s blog, socials, and announcements for socials, chapters, and McCoy/TXST Events
• Industry updates and discussions to keep everyone in the loop about what’s happening in the field

The server will be primarily moderated by a bot, but our Officers are also around to help with anything you need!

We’d love for you to drop in, introduce yourself, and hang out! Let’s make this server an awesome space for everyone.

See you there!
