ECITA Update
Butler Community College
It’s hard to believe that there is only 5 weeks left until the end of this semester. The ECITA students have been busy and growing rapidly within the short time they have been with us at Butler.
They have had some great experiences and speakers (pictured below) that have shared with them everything from the importance of being a personable person to the importance of networking and internship opportunities.
Finals week at Butler is the week of December 8th-12th. ECITA students last day of fall classes will be Thursday, December 11th. Courses for the spring semester will commence on Tuesday, January 20th.
