Our Online and Information Technology (OIT) interns are hard at work this summer getting the new Academic Building set up for the Fall semester. Their goal is to set up and install new computers, office technology and conferencing systems throughout the building’s various offices and computer labs, a project that helps the interns build real-world experiences in their career field.

OIT intern Matt Sulpizio mentions the experience has strengthened his skills in self-teaching and “learning things on the fly”, skills important in the IT field. Along with collaborating with other interns and supervisors, Sulpizio has learned how to comfortably deal with the unfamiliar and find solutions to complex problems.

Fourth-year IT student Pavlo Krykavskyi who is graduating at the end of the summer is building his skills as he configures network routers and switches, equipment that will be used for networking and cybersecurity courses in the Fall semester.

Staff involvement in the internship has also helped OIT interns like Marcos Ruiz gain professionalism in the field. “[They] know a lot. Any questions you have, they are happy to teach you what they know: what they do when a problem arises, what procedures they have for making everything work smoothly, and any questions about future careers and jobs.”

We are proud of the difference our students make on campus and the opportunities we are able to provide them to advance their career goals.

How to throw a bachelorette party that doesn’t end in a fallout. Professor of sociology Beth Montemurro provides insight into a new approach to celebrating the bride-to-be without breaking the bank or costing valuable friendships.

Brides are bringing back the one-night-only bachelorette party: 'You just come, have one perfect night and leave' Before they ballooned into multi-day destination getaways, bachelorette parties tended to be one night of raucous fun. Some brides are bringing it back.
