Anika Neela ’19 Alum
Neela recalls how much her CIS 120 Data Structures class pushed her but also ignited her lasting interest in working in tech. She majored in computer information systems and leveraged everything she had available on campus to succeed.
That meant, asking questions in her classes, seeking out professors during office hours and giving herself the extra practice with course work, working as a peer tech tutor.
