Condolences to the Nelson Family

I am sad to report that one of our alumni, Dana A. Nelson Jr. passed away a few days ago. Dana graduated in August, 1999 with a degree in SET.

He is survived by his wife Linda (who had worked in the OIT Library) and his son Dana A. Nelson III, also a SET alumni. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Nelson family.

Article in Oregonian on Intel Interns

There is an interesting article in the Oregonian about an internship program for Freshmen based upon an interview with our very own SET alumni and a great supporter of our department and OIT, Tavish Ledesma from Intel.

This summer there are TWO interns from the CSET department who were hired by Tavish as part of this new pilot program he initiated. You can read the entire article here: http://www.oregonlive.com/beaverton/index.ssf/2011/07/intel_and_nike_interns_face_off_in_first_cross-company_sport_challenge.html

Hope you are all having a great summer!

Immediate opening for a software intern in Southern Oregon (Grants Pass)

Today I spent some time visiting with a number of key managers and developers at a company in Grants Pass called Pharmacy Computer Services, Inc.. They are doing some exciting things in relation to Web based applications, cloud computing, HCI, testing, etc. If you happen to live in the Grants Pass area and are interested in working THIS SUMMER in an exciting company of about 30 employees please let me (randal.albert@oit.edu) know ASAP and I will provide you with some additional information and a contact name. After visiting with them about our program it appears it would best if you had completed at least the sophomore year of the SET program and had taken CST 236 - Software Systems Testing.

If you have already graduated and are looking for full-time work or would like to return to southern Oregon they would love to talk with you too. I will visit with Jan Goodyear in our career center early next week and she too will be able to provide you with some additional information.

We hope you all have a safe and enjoyable 4th of July!
