The Blacks In Government (BIG) Mile High Chapter is sponsoring a National Information Superhighway Student Competition (ISSC).  This competition gives students an opportunity to showcase their oral, written communication, and computer skills.  The competition is open to students in grades 9 through 12. (Please note--separate criteria apply to for grades 9-10 and 11-12).

The 2011 ISSC competition theme is, "Beating the Odds…….Technology Empowering African American Males to succeed."  The competition reflects an increasing need to assist our students with developing and enhancing their computer skills in order to be competitive in the global workplace.

Students will compete for scholarships and prizes awarded at the local and regional levels, and at BIG's 33rd annual National Training Conference in Boston, MA in August 2011.

All students participating in the competition must be in good standing with a
GPA average of 2.0.  Upon review and acceptance into the competition, students will be required to submit additional paperwork for verification.

BIG is a national organization of African-American government workers committed to excellence in government through equality of opportunity.  For more information contact  Gerri Purvis at BIGmilehighyouth@googlegroups.com or call at (303) 671-7381.
