We have a new student assistant starting today, Chris Kassab. Chris is a computer science major at Wayne State and he is going to be helping out with back end development for a few of our ongoing internal projects.

Over the past year or so the growth of new projects has been great. Groups have been transitioning their print content to the web, not only saving money but to reach a larger audience. We have been pumping out sites with greater functionality than ever. With that greater functionality comes the need for more brains and hands on deck.

Almost everyone in the web communications department has started out as a student assistant and worked their way up. Even myself started as a student, I was eager, ambitious and anxious to learn something new. I like to think we mold minds, we give opportunities to grow and we take pride in what we do.

You may not see Chris’ work but that is the point, no one ever complained about web pages loading too fast, a rock solid API or a CMS that was expandable and adaptable. He may be writing here soon with updates on his work, subscribe to our feed to get notified.
