Looking for Work & the Party is Almost Over

If any recent graduates are looking for jobs the following former students are looking for people.

There are also a number of openings in Austin, TX for both hardware and software folks according to Jarrod Levulett. If interested, please contact Jarrod at jzlevule@marvell.com.

Tom, Marcus, and Jarrod are very excited about their respective company and feel that these positions would be a great opportunity for an OIT graduate.

Lab Update - Purvine Hall

Below is an update on the labs from Troy, Matt, Art, and Josh:

Things are busy for the labs this summer. We are giving all the machines a thorough going through and repairing all the problems. The biggest change you will see this fall is the deployment of DeepFreeze by Faronics. With this software we are going to be able to solve a lot of the problems we were having in the labs. Students will now have Administrative Privileges to the machines to try out new things. When the machines reboot they will go back to a known state. Anything on the local hard drive will be wiped out if its not part of the image. ALWAYS PUT YOUR DATA ON Z DRIVE.

The other change is that roaming profiles will also go away. This is due to all the problems we had with them last year. Hope you all are having a great summer and see you in the fall.

Alumni & Faculty Barbeque

The 5^th Annual Alumni & Faculty Barbeque in Reno was held this past Saturday at Mark Bansemer’s house. It was great seeing so many of the IGT people, our IGT alumni along with alumni from Sacramento and other places. The OIT group included President Chris Maples, Erin Foley - VP for Student Affairs, Tracy Ricketts - Alumni Relations, and Ralph Carestia – Professor CSET were able to attend this year’s annual event.

Thanks to all the alumni that were able to attend and spend some time with their former colleagues along with the OIT faculty and administrators.

We look forward to hopefully seeing you all again next year, along with those folks that weren’t able to make it this year!
