Western Michigan University’s ITE Student Chapter will represent the Great Lakes District at the 2011 ITE Traffic Bowl Grand Championship to be held in St. Louis during the ITE International Annual Meeting. This will be the first appearance in the Grand Championship for a team from Western Michigan. They finished second in the district’s traffic bowl to the team from Ohio State, who are unable to attend the championship event scheduled for this coming August. As a result, the District selected Western Michigan to be its representative.
