Hiring managers are playing the game “Where’s Waldo”. They are searching for the right candidate lost in a sea of unprepared or unqualified ones. Be Waldo.
Message From Leadership
Dr. Sam Chung, Dean of School of Technology and Computing (STC)
Now it’s time to wrap up this fall quarter.
How was this quarter? Was it productive for you? Did you learn a lot?
I hope this quarter was very productive for you, and you learned something meaningful for your professional plans.
STC works hard for student success. I believe that success comes from whom you trust and who trusts you. I want to make sure our students trust their STC degree programs.
According to Joel Peterson’s book – “The 10 Laws of Trust,” trust has the three qualities of Character, Competence, and Authority. STC’s formula for Character Development is (HUD)2 – Humble, Honest, Unique, Unified, Diligent, and Direction. STC is humbled to teach our students honestly and diligently because we understand our students are unique. STC provides students’ direction and leads them by unifying their character. STC integrates STC Competency-Based Learning (CBL) into every course. STC continues to infuse technical skills or industry certificates in each course. STC gives students input into the curriculum by empowering student Teaching Assistants to develop hands-on practices (HOP). STC wants to provide educational degree programs that our students can trust.

STC will recruit eight new student workers who can start working from as early as the end of December. If you want to learn about new technology, get involved in curriculum development, help your peers with technology, and grow personally and professionally while studying in STC, please apply to the following position (link).
