Braindump 2020

In response to the COVID 19 pandemic, theCAT has adapted the 2020 Braindump to deliver comprehensive training for the next generation of computer system administrators. By providing the choice of both remote and limited in-person learning, new CATs will get to pursue their curiosity, build their social network, and gain valuable job experience in the IT field while at home or in our server rooms.

TheCAT accepts new student volunteers once a year at the beginning of Fall term. This happens at Braindump Orientation, which is on Friday October 9th, 2020 at 6pm via Zoom. Orientation attendance is mandatory to be accepted into theCAT so sign up now by pressing the button above or learn more about the Braindump by pressing the button below.
