Fix your computer for 5 bucks

October 2, 2008

Eric Kinnard, President of AITP, completes repairs on computers brought into West Allis Campus.

That is the deal that the Association of Information and Technology Professionals (AITP) is offering at the West Allis Campus on Mondays from noon to 5:30 p.m. in Room 321 for just $5 an hour. Something as frustrating as spyware removal won’t be a problem.And if it turns out there’s a hardware issue and something needs to be replaced, they will give you the specific information on where to find it. Unlike geek squad, the AITP will not look at your personal files. The insanely great deal is well worth the trip.

The money raised will help fund students to attend the AITP Collegiate Conference in Oklahoma City, April 2, 2009.

About the Contributor

Bob Hanson, Adviser MATC Times Newspaper

My philosophy: I believe my ultimate goal is to create a safe atmosphere of engaged learning. This is done with excellent communication skills and sound journalism practice by students. I believe that student media should always consist of student work. I have an obligation to defend and teach without censoring, editing, directing or producing the students’ rights to free expression. My background: I started out my career as a printing press operator and soon learned design and layout. I have been employed at MATC for 30 years and I have had the pleasure of working as the Times Adviser since 2006. I have had several jobs while here at MATC but none have been more satisfying than being the Times Adviser. Other things that I find important: I have the pleasure to work with some of the best students here at MATC. This continually inspires, re-energizes me and sometimes challenges me to always work at my best and strive to give the staff of the MATC Times the best possible learning experience. I have an open door policy and strive to make myself available to students. If you interested in joining our great staff please feel free to email me at [email protected] or call me at 414-297-7824.
