Experience Academic Excellence

William Paterson University has opened so many doors for me. I have had the opportunity to work on campus as a research assistant and tutor, received scholarships to attend technical conferences, completed an internship in software engineering, and made valuable professional connections beyond that through the University’s career mentorship program. These experiences have allowed me to grow not only as a future software engineer, but also as a person.
