Students Welcome!
While our community is largely comprised of IT staff we encourage participate from college students as well. Students are the users we support, so we welcome their attendance and invite them to participate. Student voices are a vital part of the conversation, and we’re proud to feature their insights whenever possible.
To help make student attendance possible, ResNet Inc. offers the Senti-Merriman Scholarship, which provides travel assistance to a selected student attendee. Institutions are encouraged to nominate their outstanding student staff for this award. Learn more on our scholarship page.
