It's about networking.
Information Technology junior, Dave Gingerich, is in an internship program with Millward Brown in Naperville, a market research company. Not only is he using his skills as he provides desktop support but he’s gaining experience with customer interaction all in a real world setting. He’s working with two USF Computer Science alumni, Mike Malenki, and Jordan Raub, who contacted the USF Computer Science Department to let us know that their director wanted a USF student for a PC Specialist internship. Not only does Dave have an opportunity to build on his skills, add valuable experience on his resume, but he gets paid, too! That’s win-win-win!

USF students had an opportunity last Fall to work with Computer Science alumni, Jim Schuler '03, and Carl Ziech '06, as well as Business alumnus, Adam Helwich '04 in investigating how to use a Wii-mote as an input device to a Windows computer. A lot fun and a lot of learning took place as other alumni paticipated including, adjunct faculty professor, Panagiotis Kourtidis '03 who decided to implement his version on Linux.
