Youngstown State University
My time at Youngstown State University shaped me as a person beyond anything I ever expected. The entire department, from staff to students, and especially the dedicated professors, drove me not only to push myself while still at YSU but also to pursue my Ph.D. so that I too could eventually become a professor and hopefully inspire others in the same way. -Michael Walker
Encouragement and close mentorship from faculty in the Department of Computer Science and Information Systems at YSU are the reasons why I am pursuing a Ph.D. in Software Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University. The faculty go above and beyond to make sure their students succeed and are prepared for their futures. -Jenna Wise
