Truman Web Group
We've started Truman Web Group. It's a students/faculty group designed to encourage friendship, networking and a deeper understanding of web design topics. Plus ... there are snacks and prizes!

Our meetings are open to students of Truman College, individuals interested in taking classes at Truman and Truman alumni. Please feel free to bring a guest. The meetings are FREE.

We make a serious effort to meet every month during the school year (from September to May) and once in the summer.
