Dear Members of ACM,

Hello!  My name is Disha Patel, and I am a 2002 graduate from Miami's  
Computer Science and Systems Analysis department.  I cordially invite  
you to attend an event hosted by Eli Lilly and Company, a well  
respected, global pharmaceutical company headquartered in  
Indianapolis, Indiana.  The event will occur on Wed. Sept 28th 5-6pm  
in room 105 Kreger Hall.

This event will focus on the current state and future state of IT  
careers, based on current factors within the IT industry, such as  
outsourcing, end of dot com era, enrollment in university Computer  
Science programs decreasing, what skills are needed to be competitive  
in today's IT environment, and female enrollment in science,  
management, and technology.  This will be a beneficial talk for all  
those that attend and students will have the opportunity to meet some  
of Lilly's IT leadership team and truly understand what it means to  
be an IT professional in today's world.  Students will also have the  
opportunity to send questions for discussion prior to the event at  
[log in to unmask]

Please also note that this event will include pizza.  Please make  
every effort to attend!!!

I have also attached a power point slide of the event.

Have a wonderful day!

Best wishes,
Disha Patel
