Congratulations to Isaac vanWestrienen for winning the national title in the 10000-meter run at the NCAA Division III Outdoor Track & Field Championships last night! ๐Ÿ‘

For those of you who followed along with internship blogs last summer, you might remember that Isaac listed a goal at the end of his final blog post: to become a men's cross country national champion in November. While he placed third in that cross country contest, we hope this different national championship title is just as sweet a victory!

Well the summer has finally come to a close. The past 9 weeks have been full of work and running and I have loved every second of it. I am currently sitting on the couch at my house watching the US outdoor track championships and waiting to leave for work in about an hour. The past week was one of m...

We're proud of you, Garrett!

This block, we're spotlighting Garrett Roehl '26 from St. Cloud, Wisconsin, who will graduate with a BA in data science this May. Garrett completed an REU at the University of Iowa last summer on Computing for Health and Well-Being. With that experience still new on his resume, he recently accepted a full-time Technical Solutions Engineer job with Epic in Verona, Wisconsin.

Garrett says, "I came into the BCI initially for help with the internship search and application process my sophomore and junior year. I needed some help with my resume, and I didn't really know where to start with things like LinkedIn or Handshake. Stopping into the BCI was helpful and it got me on the right track with the process. It also helped me to understand a little more about the way the professional world works.

Seniors, as you embark on this final block at Cornell, Garrett's advice is to "keep trying with applications and keep working on improving in terms of resume and relevant skills."

Have an awesome last block on the Hilltop!
