2019 Traffic Bowl Winners
The 2019 Traffic Bowl Winners! From Left to Right: Traffic Bowl Chair Greg Judy, Nitesh Shah, Yi Wen, Wesley Darling, Zachary Jerome and TSITE President Amy Burch.
Congratulations to the University of Tennessee for winning this year’s traffic bowl at the winter meeting in Nashville. It was a great competition with three schools represented: Tennessee State University, the University of Tennessee and the University of Memphis. The University of Tennessee will represent TSITE at the Southern District (SDITE) Annual Meeting on March 31 – April 3, 2019 in Arlington, Virginia.
Winter Meeting Parking Details
We had a suggestion for inclusion of a TSU parking map, so please see below for a parking map and parking permit for Lots K and L for the TSITE Winter Meeting. This permit should be displayed in your vehicles front left dash. This permit does not permit parking in areas marked “Fire Lane” or “No Parking”, nor does it allow parking in a “Reserved” space that is not shown on the front side.
We are looking forward to seeing everyone at the Winter Meeting.
Revised Sponsorships for 2019
The TSITE Board decided at the 2018 year end board meeting to simplify the way sponsorships are collected. Sponsors will now be solicited once per year before the winter meeting. Sponsorships are available at four different tiers and cover all section meetings for the year, the winter traffic bowl and the website. This method allows companies to make a one time payment per year instead of receiving multiple requests from TSITE throughout the year for various events. Additional information can be found here.
