Appalachian State University's Association of Information Technology Professionals (AITP) student chapter received the AITP Regional Outstanding Chapter of the Year award. The honor was announced during the National Collegiate Conference in Rosemont, IL on April 8.
Appalachian's AITP region is comprised of multiple states in the eastern US including North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and West Virginia.
Out of more than 200 AITP student chapters from 45 states, only two other schools (Texas State University and Ball State University) won awards for their respective regions.
The AITP Outstanding Chapter of the Year award is based upon performance from the 2014-2015 academic year in five categories: Education, Membership, Public Relations, Meetings, and Association Participation.
"Thanks to everyone who has served in AITP leadership roles, attended committee and guest speaker meetings, traveled to conferences, and completed community service projects," said faculty advisor D. Scott Hunsinger. "These activities contributed to our chapter's selection for the award."
The award marks the 40th national or regional award that Appalachian's AITP chapter has received since 2007, when Dr. Hunsinger began serving as faculty advisor.
