Congratulations to the 2010 nominees for the third CIS Immersion Excursion.
This year, we are bringing 14 hand selected CIS students to Dallas to visit CISCO and Walgreen’s distribution center. This year’s participants are:
- Brad Kent
- Yuri Chavira
- Salvador Gomez
- Nathan Tarrant
- Edgar Cardenas
- Ivan Cardenas
- Rebecca Boyer
- Skyler Schmidt
- Brenton Thurber
- Laura Castro
- Dustin Hume
- Brandon Boyd
- Eyoel Mengesha
- K.C. Wilder
Participants are nominated by a committee of professors based on their performance in the classroom and our appraisals of their career potential. This year, we had a very big list of candidates, stemming from our large freshmen class, so those who didn’t make the final cut this year will still be considered next year.
This is the 3rd immersion excursion. In 2009, 10 students traveled to Houston to vist a HP server manufacturing facility and the NASA space center. In 2008, 10 students traveled to Seattle to visit Microsoft and Boeing.
Besides direct exposure to some of our recruiters, students get a feel for how things work in the real world, and receive a certificate recognizing that they were hand selected for outstanding achievement.
Congratulations, stay tuned for pictures.
