When Matthew Conover ’19 was a student at PLU, he recalls someone telling him there were two types of software engineers: the ones who chose to chase the money, and the ones who had no other choice. “I fall into the latter camp,” Conover said.…
interned at a company that then hired you full time. What did you learn in your multiple roles at T-Mobile? T-Mobile was my first career experience and gave me a taste of what it is like to work on a team in industry and also to start learning some of the more practical and less theoretical things. The T-Mobile internship was about learning “the cloud” and to think like a development engineer. Later, my full-time job at PLU was about automation and platform architecture and planning, most often by

re-emit energy in the form of light. Jenny Stein ’13 is hoping her time in the lab looking at small glowing crystals will eventually lead to a job researching solar energy. The glowing crystals are called colloidal quantum dots, and Stein has been studying their capacity to absorb and re-emit energy in the form of light. “I really do like the whole concept of renewable energy and applying this to solar cells,” she said. Stein entered PLU with hopes of going to medical school but then switched to
