Throughout this summer, I would like to think my time with the Wabash IT Department as an intern has helped ease my mind on this very important decision.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>
<\/span>My internship at the Wabash IT Department lead me to meeting many faculty in different departments that I more than likely would not have met if I was not a part of this internship. My internship consisted of installing computer systems for faculty. <\/span><\/span>Furthermore<\/span><\/span>, I would set up their systems, move their files, and set up personalized requests that were specific to their systems. In addition, I also answered tickets request for faculty that may not have computer installations, but they were in need of assistance with their computer systems. A part of my internship was very helpful to me as a person who may not have as much knowledge of technology that goes beyond the basics. For example, an external drive for Wabash students is available on <\/span><\/span>MyBash<\/span><\/span> called BOX and I never used it and I didn\u2019t know about it. However, through my experience with it this summer, I am certain that I will use it for my classwork from now on. I learned that Wabash equips us with so many systems on their computers that makes it possible to get the most out of your education. <\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>
<\/span>As an intern for the IT department, my computer installations for faculty came with many different requests. During one installation, I had to install a laptop and dock with a monitor. Additionally, there was a request for the person to keep their old monitor and have to monitors at their desk. A request like that is actually quite frequent. The difference between this installation and others is that I had to install the monitor vertically. This is the type of technological information I gained through my internship. <\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>
<\/span>Overall, my internship with the Wabash IT department was very positive. I\u2019m still uncertain of what I will major in or the career I would like to be in for the rest of my life, but I do believe this experience has opened my eyes to a career that I didn\u2019t particularly think about before. I think I will keep IT as a career choice that might be the right fit.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
