Hello Professors!
This summer, the IBM Academic Initiative System z program is pleased to offer you two faculty summer seminars: Introduction to IBM Enterprise System and System z Workshop Series, both being held at IBM in Poughkeepsie, NY. These seminars are available to members of the Academic Initiative program who have an interest in large enterprise systems (either by teaching or preparing to teach courses related to mainframe technologies). We are very excited about this summer's line-up!
These seminars will include a combination of lecture and lab exercises. In addition, we will provide tours and invite guest speakers from industry to offer a broader perspective of the enterprise computing community. No prerequisites are required. You can choose to enroll in one or both seminars! Both seminars are offered at no cost, including the tours and events hosted by IBM. All you need to take care of is travel and lodging.
