What was your coolest co-op experience:
"My coolest assigment so far was during my Freshman II term. I was able to conduct several Cause and Effect meetings that enabled workers to determine why our producivity was down. I ran the meetings and sent out the notes and helped the workers to increase the plant's productivity through Continuous Improvement. My employers treated me as if I were a full-time employee, which helped me develop my social skills and leading abilities."
What advice would you give to a student considering Kettering University?
"Kettering is probably the best college you could go to. The co-op alone would make it the best investment in your future, but pair that with top-notch professors and small class sizes, and you can't beat it. The co-op program also allows you to help pay for college, learn about your degree, develop critical skills for future employment, and it's a nice break from classes. The professors give your all of the techinical and hands-on knowledge that you need, but in order to really learn something you need to use it everyday. Well, when you go to your co-op, you use the topics you learned every day, which enables you to really understand and retain everything that you learn at Kettering."
