UC IT students recognized for achievement in cooperative education

Each spring, the University of Cincinnati’s College of Cooperative Education and Professional Studies honors students for outstanding achievement in experiential learning.

The following three students in UC’s School of Information Technology were recognized for their achievements in cooperative education. Their stories help to illustrate why the University of Cincinnati is a top five university for co-ops and internships according to U.S. News Best Colleges rankings.

Mansfield, Ohio, native Anna Pham completed her first co-op as an IT technician with a local school district, then completed four co-ops with 84.51 in infrastructure and cloud technology on the desktop engineering, dev pipelines, data availability, and clickstream team. She has been involved in the UC community as president of her sorority and of the Vietnamese Student Association and as director of programming for the Multicultural Greek Council.

Coming to UC from India, Deon Sequeira made outstanding contributions at Ocean Technologies Group. He demonstrated exceptional communication and critical thinking skills, actively sought feedback, refined his approach, and led impactful projects. His ability to articulate complex technical concepts clearly, engage in cross-cultural communication, and adapt to diverse work environments showcases his preparedness for a dynamic IT career.

Drawing on UC’s pioneering work in cooperative education, the College of Cooperative Education and Professional Studies supports learners at any stage in their educational and professional growth. In collaboration with university, industry, government and community partners, we bridge the gap between academic achievement and career success through innovative programs, skill development and service learning.
