Our first TOP-CAT conference was held at NCCU in the Miller-Morgan building on November, 23 and we are proud to announce that it was a resounding success. The participants were exceedingly enthusiastic, especially, during the segment in which they were awarded prizes and certificates for participation. Four refurbished computers were awarded to worthy lab participants and the Perry family received a brand new television as a reward for their exceptional record of attendance and exemplary level of participation. We were fortunate to have had insightful and inspiring speakers address the conference on the benefits of community outreach and education. Two of which were John Clark, news anchor of WTVD, and Thurman Flowers, principal of C.C. Spaulding Elementary School, who both gave addresses that had the audience energized. Of course, the most memorable portion of the conference was the distribution of prizes to our lab participants. Below are two photo albums of the event. TOP-CAT wants to thank all of those who helped us to make our first conference a success, namely GE, our largest supporter and sponsor. We are deeply indebted to many individuals and organizations for their help and support, there are just too many to list here.
