Student Spotlight

“The computer science program at Lyon really helped me build a strong knowledge base around general computer science concepts, both concrete and abstract. When I entered the workforce, I was able to fall back on the knowledge and skills that I acquired and to learn much more quickly than I had anticipated. The one-on-one mentorship that Professor Sonnier provided me was also invaluable in that it helped me make an informed decision about what path I wanted my career to take.”
