4. Connections with Local Employers
We have placed students in internships with employers such as Lewis and Lewis (Richardson, TX) and recent graduates with companies such as nQativ (Lubbock, TX), Raytheon (Dallas, TX), Pursuant (Dallas, TX), Allegiant Wealth Management-MassMutual (Dallas, TX), Qualtrics (Provo, UT). One component of the proposal was to establish an advisory board with members of the board from regional companies where we have placed interns and/or graduates.
