Successful Careers

Over a third of our math majors go on immediately to graduate school, and roughly another third earn secondary teaching certificates and proceed immediately to teaching jobs. The remaining third enter a variety of careers spread widely across business and industry. Our Computer Science majors have such attractive choices for immediate employment that relatively few enter graduate study. The list below gives a few of these possibilities:

• Corey Large (computer science) is a computer systems consultant with Interlink Group, Inc., in Denver, CO.
• Matthew Menzel (mathematics) completed a Ph.D. in mathematics at the University of Kentucky and has joined the faculty at Marietta College in Ohio.
• Melissa Ingersoll (computer science and mathematics) is employed as a computer consultant in the Twin Cities.
• David Feil (mathematics, French, and physics) completed a Ph.D. in mathematics at the University of Iowa. He is on the faculty at Carroll College in Wisconsin.
• Jamie Pilgrim (computer science and art) is a computer animator whose credits include The Matrix and The Lord of the Rings.
• Daniel Pyatt (computer science) is employed by Arthur Anderson Technological Services in Sarasota, Florida.
• Furrukh Fahim (mathematics, computer science and economics) earned a Ph.D. at the University of Iowa. He is currently an engineer with MCI in Dallas, Texas.
• Jeffrey Pospisil (mathematics) teaches mathematics and coaches basketball at Cedar Valley Christian School.
• Geci Karuri (computer science) is studying architecture at UCLA.
• Ben Meyer (computer science and physics) is enrolled in a graduate program in material science.
• Jennifer Hunt (mathematics and computer science) is employed as a programmer analyst at Norand Corporation in Cedar Rapids.
