“My internship with UIT has allowed me to be a part of a team where I am trusted and given the opportunity to work on some really great, valued projects. SUDO has also helped me set goals and achieve many things for those projects as well as develop myself and my own skills.”
“Working with UIT was a valuable experience doing work that actually happens out the industry means I get to gain skills necessary to come out of school and make a difference. Mentors and other connections provide a great learning environment in which I felt encouraged to ask questions, get career insights, etc."
