    Student & Alumni Stories
    “The College provided me with the tools to get to where I am today. The annual career fair helped me to get two internships. One of them was with the company that offered me a full-time position during the fall of my senior year. It was such a relief to have a job lined up so I didn’t have to worry about job searching during the spring semester of my senior year. In addition, the Department of Computer Science gave me the knowledge I needed so I would be well prepared for technical interviews.” — Jessica (Lewis ’17) Donatelli, B.S. in Computer Science
