MISSA hosts an Information Technology Competition (ITC) annually to provide students all over the west-coast the opportunity to get involved with IT. They are given this opportunity to not only showcase their skills, but also to learn more about IT. They are to act as consultants as they are given a case study to tackle, and will deliver their results to the judges on the competition day.

This year’s ITC will be held on **Saturday, April 9th, 2022** and will be **held in person at Cal Poly Pomona**. The competition will be from 8:00 am - 4:00 pm.
