Name: Adam Champy
Major: Electrical Engineering & Computer Science
Internship: Morgan Stanley - Information Technology
Location: New York, NY
"UPOP taught me how to leverage my engineering skills
with real business goals in mind. My work over the summer pushed me
to develop projects independently, to make value judgements, and to
work as part of a global team. The experience has already helped to
shape my outlook on both my professional and academic careers in a
multitude of instructional ways."
"My summer turned out far better than I expected. I
learned how to apply what I learned in school to the industry. But
most importantly, I learned about myself. My internship changed some
and confirmed other ideas I had about what I should expect from a
company, a boss, and myself. It was no doubt a very rewarding
experience."
"My internship was an invaluable experience. I was given
a challenging project and through it learned a great deal about myself,
the company, the business industry and what it takes for each to
perform and succeed."

"Most interns have low expectations regarding their work
assignments. However, this past summer, I was given a crucial role in
the implementation of a company's product, and had the additional
opportunity to deliver presentations to an audience that included none
other than the company's CTO. I can only hope future job assignments
will be as meaningful and substantial as my internship this past
summer."

"This summer I was still able to have one of those incredible
experiences that makes me so excited about a new field of work that I'm
forced to reconsider every decision I thought I had made about the direction
my life was headed. I learned more than I ever had in class, and watched my
projects get applied to experiments that could one day change the world"
