“The thing that I’ve loved most about my time in the computer science program is that I do feel like I can have genuine conversations with my professors,” Flanagan said. “They’re very normal and real people. It’s easier to do well in a class when you actually care about the person who is teaching it.”

I am impressed by the important, behind-the-scenes work that fuels our everyday technology. But just as important, Hartigan said, is that a profession in computer science offers a quality work-life balance that allows her to pursue more.
Sydney Langenhagen
- Bachelor of Science
- Class of 2024
A switch flipped, and I went from hating it (computer science course) to actually understanding it and then eventually liking the complexity and challenges of it. I liked that I was doing something different than all of my peers, and I stuck with it through high school.
Ethan Harrison

Though not originally planning to declare a major in Computer Science, I was always interested learning more about hardware and software design.
Zoe Chamberlin
- Bachelor of Arts

I give my mother full credit when it comes to computer science’s place in my life. Throughout high school, it was evident that I had a natural talent and interest in the sciences. With this knowledge, my mother slowly started to mention computer science in our daily conversations.
