We could talk and talk about how effective our technical programs are, but we think you’d be better served hearing from someone else —the companies that partner with our computer science curriculum development committee! Take a look at these success stories, it's a great way to get started getting to know NU.
QUOTES
“I am impressed with the students, faculty and administration I met at Neumont University. The fact that Neumont will be supplying high-quality graduates to Utah technology employers bodes well for maintaining the state’s competitive position in an increasingly global economy.”
- Governor (and 2012 Presidential Candidate), John Huntsman, Jr., September of 2005 during a tour of the Neumont campus while working to bolster higher education to strengthen the Utah economy. During his visit he encouraged collaboration between local industry and Neumont leaders.
"Even more than being bright, Neumont University graduates are in touch and in tune with current business challenges."
— Shawn McNinch, IBM Client Manager
“Our Neumont project team has been a valuable asset to our team while creating an automated suite of tests for a project which previously consumed significant time to test. Their collective skillset and good attitudes allowed them to grasp the fundamental concepts related to not only our platform, but also a 3rd party framework and produced results very quickly. They asked meaningful questions and then were autonomous except to ask clarifying questions and show their progress.”
- Darren Solomon- Business Analyst, inContact
“This quarter we were at the end of a large 9 month project which was critical to the success of our company. Everyone in the company was involved, from development to testing. We could not have had a better group of interns to help us complete this project. As I told the President of uGenius, 'We could not have completed this project without the additional help from the interns.' We can’t wait for our next group!”
- Travis LaFleur- Development Manager, uGenius
“We are thrilled with our partnership with Neumont University and the technical prowess of its graduates. They make meaningful contributions from week one- the clear result of an extremely practical, project-based educational model.”
- Scott Fletcher- VP/COO, REI Systems
"My experience working with Neumont University students has been a very positive and enjoyable one. They were able to successfully meet their challenges, work well in our environment, and present themselves in a professional manner to our company."
— Elizabeth Yukman, R&D Project Manager, Medicity Corporation
— Steve McNamara, Systems Development Director for ODM Tools Group, ACS
"Neumont graduates hit the ground running from day one on the job—equivalent to someone who has two years of development experience."
— Dan LaRiviera, Vice President, Digital Draw Network
"We're looking for future employees at Neumont because they're focusing on the latest technologies vs. older, outdated technologies."
— Jason Thelin, Co-Founder, Solution Stream
"The Neumont project for GTECH was a home run. Far more than we expected them to achieve, and the reaction from our team was overwhelmingly positive. We expect to continue the project in to the next phase with a Neumont team, and build on what they have achieved so far. This was a great start to the relationship. The team that worked on this was (and is) great."
-Don Stanford, Chief Technology Officer and Technology Fellow, GTech
