Having a group of people that can build off of one another, knowing you have an alliance, that your struggle is a shared experience and you’re not alone, is important for success.

Lucas D’Antonio, a fourth-year Computer Information Technology major with a concentration in Cybersecurity in the College of Technology, interned at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in Batavia, Illinois.

It was a class in Linux system administration that helped me the most...I was assigned a real-world problem and I applied my education and experience to solve it.

All of the hands-on training I’m receiving at PNW is helping me narrow down exactly what I want to do once I graduate.
