	The 2007-08 school year is in full swing. ITE is here for the students, with scholarships, the STEP mentoring program, discounted (or free) attendance at our regular meetings, free pizza/sandwiches with presentations on transportation topics at local universities, and financial assistance for students to the Annual District 6 Meeting.

Every year students attending the District Meeting get the chance to network with transportation professionals and students from the Western portion of the United States (District 6). The 2008 District meeting in Anaheim will be even more exciting, as it will double as the Annual Meeting of ITE International. This will enable students to network with transportation professionals from all over the world.

If you are a student and would like ITE to make a visit to your school, please contact the ITE student liaison for your area. We also have a page to help students and employers find CAREER FAIRS coming to local universities.
