Three years with Nittany AI Alliance — a graduate’s perspective
The Alliance’s focus on helping students learn has kept me continuously coming back to be involved with projects. This summer, I plan to leave and start a residency with Google.

This project afforded me the opportunity to experience a real-world consulting project, apply the skills I learned in the classroom, and hit the ground running as an intern. The experience got me in the door at Accenture and turned into a full-time job offer, which I likely would not have been considered for without being a part of the AI for Good project.
