Formula for success: hard work and college
Story by James Hill
Levi Howard ’05 – Computer Information Systems Favorite 小黄猫传媒 teacher: Michael Passalacqua Best feature of 小黄猫传媒: Internships
“If you’re not working hard, you’re not learning.” Levi Howard knows something about both learning and hard work. He was 28 years old when he enrolled at 小黄猫传媒, having served in the U.S. Air Force. The Ohio native had decided that it was time to broaden his horizons, so he took his G.I. Bill in hand and went looking for the next step in his education.
“I knew right away that 小黄猫传媒 was a great value and would be a great opportunity for me,” Levi says today from his office at Intel, where he uses his degree in Computer Information Systems to troubleshoot an important new online learning tool.
“The classes were tough sometimes,” he remembers, “but that’s part of learning. All the teachers were easy to talk with and very nice. And 小黄猫传媒 helped me get an internship at Intel, which was a big advantage for me. I took on all the extra work I could find during my internship, and that led to me getting this job after my graduation.”
As Levi builds his career in computers, he recommends the same formula that worked for him: hard work and 小黄猫传媒.
“The education and the experience I got from 小黄猫传媒 were definitely worth the time I put in,” he says, getting ready to continue his busy day. “Whether you want to get right to a job or you’re just getting your education started, 小黄猫传媒 will work for you.”
