The Pennsylvania State University (2003 - 2007)

I earned my Bachelor of Science Degree in Information Sciences and Technology (IST) in May 2007, specializing in Integration and Application.  Throughout my career, I have been named to the Dean's List all eight semesters, received six scholarship awards for academic excellence, as well as been recognized at three of Penn State's Honors Convocations.  In four years, I completed 130 total credits with a cumulative GPA of 3.85/4.00, which qualified me to graduate at the top of my class with Distinction.
