I recently attended the Region 3 AITP Conference in San Antonio. This is a conference where student chapters (like mine) -- go and compete against other universities. Last year, I won second place is website design (thanks to thelist for making me wanting to learn more about web "design" as opposed to web "coding"). This year, I got honorable mention in C++. The contest was held on the 1st (of November).
