The Information Technology Research Institute was happy to welcome representatives from Wal-Mart to campus September 15, 2011.  The Information Systems department coordinated with Wal-Mart to allow Darin Many, Bandy McNew, Andre’ Mitchell, David Daniel, J.P. Thompson, and Corey Johnson to present their perspectives to students in both upper and lower level classes ranging from Introduction of Information Systems to Business Project Development.  The ITRI is thankful for this event and similar events because they afford students and faculty members an opportunity to connect with board members and representatives from a variety of companies.
