Student Testimonial:
I was recently hired by Microsoft Corporation as a System
Engineer down here in Ft. Lauderdale. Been going through a 3
month training program. They will also be putting us through
a boot camp style training to get all the new Certifications.
Its going to be a bumpy ride but I'm really enjoying it. Just
wanted to share that with you, so tell potential students that
DSC credits looks good on a resume. :)
Thank you for all your assistance.

Student Testimonial
Professor,
This is William ( I go by Shawn). I graduated last year from your program
with a wide array of degrees and certificates. You can see my picture on
the front of my site http://www.shawnwilkerson.com/
Early last month, Packt Publishing contacted me and asked me to write a
book for them in areas of my expertise. The contract should be here by
the end of the week, and I have already finished the first chapter. Even
though I am currently taking 15 semester hours and running a business I
expect the book to be finished by the end of the year -- five full months
ahead of schedule. It will be up to the reviewers and editors at that point.
I thought you might want to pass on to the department on what one of the
Alumni are doing.
Thank you again for allowing me the opportunity to attend classes and to
integrate the program materials into my tool set.
Sincerely,
W. Shawn Wilkerson

Student Testimonial – Liliana Durkee
CRG Global
My name is Liliana Durkee and I graduated from Daytona State College with an
Associate Degree in computer programming in May 2010.
Before I graduated, I was required to do an internship. I did not know what to
expect in the process of preparing for this class. Cheryl Miller, our Work
Experience Coordinator at DSC, helped me greatly in this process. After several
conversations with her I sent my resume to the State Attorney’s Office where I
was accepted for the internship.
In the few weeks that I worked there, I had the opportunity to experience a
solid, well-built program. I also learned how the company that created this
program is continuously involved in the process of improving, maintaining and
most of all, teaching the user how to use the program at its maximum potential.
I came back from this COOP class with a completely different perspective.
It was a great experience, which improved my vision of my future job.
Upon my graduation a year later, I confronted the job research process within
an unfavorable market. After I had sent online applications to all possible
companies that I thought could use my skills, I was very disappointed to see
that I did not get any response, (not even a negative one.)
Help arrived for the second time, from our work experience coordinator Cheryl
Miller, after a year of researching online by myself. She informed me of a full
time position with an employer in Ormond Beach.
After two interviews, I was hired. I have been there for 6 months now, and
hope for further advancement within this company.
My advice now is to never underestimate our school employees, work
coordinators, teachers and advisors. Their help and guidance cannot be
underestimated.
They exist to help all of us and they are doing a great job.
I wish you all good luck and a successful career.
Many thanks to Cheryl Miller and last and not least many thanks to my student
advisor TK Rock who had a major role in my career as well.
Stefano Hoffman
Cheryl,
Stefano has been an outstanding
addition to our Sim Support
Group here, with the timeline of
his progress exceeding our
expectations. Obviously the
investment he made in his
education and training at DSC is
paying off for both Stefano and
FlightSafety. DSC is at the top of
our list for new-hire candidates
for Simtech positions, we will
keep you posted on any
openings.

Glen Huckins - Raydon Corporation
DSC Graduate
A Robotics and Simulation Technology major, Mr.
Huckins was able to attend Daytona State
through the National Science Foundation’s SSTEM (Scholarships in Science, Technology,
Engineering and Mathematics) program. During
his studies, he also did an internship with the city
of Daytona Beach, which was followed by
temporary employment at Halifax Medical Center.
He graduated May 2011 with his associate of
science and associate of arts degree (high
honors) and has secured his first permanent
position as a military simulator support
technician with Raydon Corp.
“This is a job that I never thought possible,” he
said. “It all has come to fruition with the
assistance and backing of the Daytona State
College Computer Science Department and their
great staff.”
