Anyone an ITA?

The Sr. ITA project probably wouldn’t affect you your first year (everyone starts out as just an ITA, and unless you’re promoted early after the 1st semester, then you remain an ITA all year.) However, this project is only required once per semester, and it can be anything from planning a social activity to teaching a class about some technical aspect that you are very good at. I wouldn’t worry about the time commitment, as whatever you choose to do shouldn’t take more than 4-6 hours worth of planning time.
As for Linux and other OS, we don’t officially support these, but it could potentially come in handy if a client has a problem and you happen to know enough to help them. The vast majority of people use windows or mac, so there is definitely no pressure to know other OS (but if you do, great!).
