“我毕业于HSU,获得计算机科学学士学位,辅修数学. I recently graduated from SMU with my Masters of Science in Security Engineering. HSU’s CSCI program was the backbone of my success story. Fun fact … I re-took Program design 1 in my senior year! 优秀的老师使学习计算机科学的基础知识和关键概念变得更加容易. They made it fun, too, in the process.”

Ryan Kana

Ryan KanaRyan is currently the Vice President of Datroo Technologies in Abilene.  他们是一家提供全方位服务的托管服务提供商和技术解决方案公司,并提供存储服务, virtualization, phone systems, security, and networking services to business all across North America.

Ryan says, “A simple question can solve a complex problem. 在HSU的CSCI项目中,我总是可以指望我的教授们抽出时间来鼓励我,指导我在解决问题的同时找到答案. I took this example and lived it  into my work today. I strive to make time to not just give the answers to employees and co-workers, but also to help them work through the solutions and find the answers themselves.”

Samantha Snead

Samantha SneedAfter I graduated from HSU with a Computer Science degree, 我在洛克希德·马丁公司的高级开发项目中做了大约4年的软件工程师, aka “Skunk Works.“最近我开始在DePaul大学攻读游戏编程硕士学位. 我是Freedom Learning Group的主题专家,在那里我为教育行业的客户起草技术文档并创建与软件开发相关的课程内容.

I am extremely passionate about programming and technology in general. That passion was birthed in the heart of Hardin-Simmons University. 在换了几次专业之后,我对自己想要追求的东西没有一个明确的方向, 我发现自己在一个编程入门课上,我爱上了编程中解决问题和解谜的方面. I was immediately sold; I knew this was what I was born to do. 做家庭作业就像是一场具有挑战性的游戏,完成作业就像是在赢球.

What sets HSU’s CS program apart is the truly amazing faculty. Not only are the professors very enthusiastic about what they do, but I felt that they genuinely cared about me and wanted to see me succeed. 由于HSU的CSCI项目相对较小,教师可以对个别学生给予更多的个性化关注. They encourage students, push them, and challenge them.

During my time at Hardin-Simmons I experienced a tremendous amount of growth, both as a programmer and as person. 我敢肯定,如果没有我在大中学到的课程,以及我所获得的友谊和导师,我就不会有今天的成就.
