Inside the Program

Computer Science Major Enhanced Studies through IT Internship

Computer science major Jimmy Vu spent time as a software developer intern at Ennovar, WSU's Institute for Emerging Technologies and Market Solutions. The internship allowed him to apply his studies to his work and gain a deeper understanding of his school work.

"It's definitely enhanced my studies," he says. "Before the internship, it felt like I was learning because I had to. Now, I'm applying what I'm learning and doing what I love. It feels like this is something that I want to do and keep getting better at."
