Playing ball


When Coach Ed Serdar of Plainfield was looking for to create a website for his girl's softball team, he turned to his friend Coach Richard Smith of USF, who in turned called on the USF Computer Science department. Three of our students are stepping up to meet the challenge and lend a hand. Megan O'Brien, Computer Science Sophomore, Alex Schmid, Computer Science Junior, and Caleb Piggott, Computer Science Senior are going to provide Coach Serdar's team with a web presence and gain valuable experience at the same time. Teamwork, developing new skills, and gaining a first exposure to working for a client are important aspects of a student's growth.

We're looking forward to seeing the website they create.

Seeing through - website development



The call came out from USF Solutions and Information Technology junior, Matt Strama, answered it. He's helping a company that has never had a web presence create one. He is currently working with a glass company to identify their needs and help them understand what they will be able to accomplish with a company website. This will give Matt another competency on his resume and he'll be able to work around his busy schedule. We're looking forward to spreading the word once his project is completed. Good going, Matt.
