experience
Being part of the Industry team means bridging the gap between students and the professional world. It’s been so rewarding seeing student’s gain industry advice and knowledge when professionals share about their companies — and knowing we made these connections possible.
Having gone to multiple ACM industry events this past year I have learned so much about various tech fields along with how I can stand out as an applicant by tailoring my resume and experience to succeed as an early professional!
Being an industry coordinator has taught me that relationships drive everything. Whether it's a coffee chat or a career fair, the impact we make by connecting people is something I’m genuinely proud of.
