INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY PRATICUM - Peter Jorgensen
The assignment instructed me to compare at least three solutions to solve an IT problem for a College. The college faculty needed to access various internet services when traveling on official business. Some of the hotels that they go to provide free internet access some do not. Some airports and other venues have free access but many do not. I had to make a justified recommendation for a solution that the College could implement to facilitate internet access by traveling faculty. I conclude the assignment with a recommendation with justification of which one to purchase. My justification factored: cost; coverage; supported platforms; required system configuration; security and other important issues.

Information Tech Project - John Marks and Melinda Whetstone
I had the pleasure of working with the members of the Krissi Flatt Foundation for a project assignment. The goal of this assignment was to ensure that I had adequate experience within project management.
