What our Interns and Supporters Say

  • "I now know for a fact that this is the field that I would like to go into and I now have the knowledge base to make that happen."
    – Joshua Makinen, 2011 Participant
  • "The IOL is a real differentiator for UNH and this program is something that should really help college applicants stand out among their peers. These high school students are not only getting to work with expensive network equipment and protocols that they would not normally have access to; they are also gaining experience working in a high tech environment. "
    – Craig Dube, Computer Associates 2008/2009/2010 Sponsor
  • "The UNH IOL is a golden opportunity hiding right in our backyard. As a rising senior, the combination of work experience and knowledge I have gained has been invaluable to my college search. The Internship helped me confirm that this is the field for me, and introduced me to many of the opportunities that are all around me, pleading to be taken advantage of."
    – Caemen Weiland, 2010 Participant
  • "The internship allowed me to see what it would be like to work in the engineering industry. It confirmed my interest in Computer science and gave me an appreciation for the challenges I will meet in the future."
    – Brennan Vanderlaan, 2009 Participant
  • "While I expected geek Nirvana, I had no idea that you would be helping students become young men and women in such a profound way. The combination, of work, games, discipline and mentoring is something so hard to find for adolescents."
    – Pete Vanderlaan, Parent of 2009 Participant
