That is where IT-FITS steps in.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">IT-FITS, or Faculty Instructional Technology Support, was started by Scripps instructional technology consultant, Dr. Susan Kullmann. Since the spring of 2006, Kullmann has recruited technically-savvy Scripps students who are interested in giving one-on-one assistance to professors. The students who take part like working with computers and also enjoy the personal interaction with the faculty that the IT-FITS program provides. As of the summer of 2012, Dr. Kullmann officially left the Scripps IT-FITS team, but her influence, and the program, carries on.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Currently, the faculty advisor for the program is <strong>Professor Nancy Macko<\/strong>. Scripps IT-FITS continues to develop an innovative, student-run program where Scripps students help professors utilize their computers and technology more effectively.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">**<\/p>\n<h3><em><strong>For Scripps Students:<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n<p>Do you know a Scripps student who is good with computers?
