What are your greatest memories of OS?

The fun hallway conversations with intelligent people. Our conversations at work are just not as much fun!

In reflecting back, what are the top three things you have taken away from the program?

• My statistical training
• The problem solving I learned in class. We called them research methods, but it’s the same thing.
• Friends for life.

What advice do you have for new students on how to succeed in graduate school?

• Actually invest in work/life balance. Do it. Don’t just talk about it. Do it. Take a weekend off, put the computer away, do something that has nothing to do with school.

What job search tips do you have for current students?

• Don’t take your internships lightly. Show some hustle. This is your best bet in getting a job.

What about for preparation for going in the job market?

• If you are going applied do some research on the company and the senior leaders. Be prepared to talk about them intelligently.
