In case some of my readers do not know, I am a College of the Ozarks alumnus and I currently work for HealthMEDX.  I graduated from the C of O Computer Sciences Program in 2001.  Over the past year, I’ve had some great opportunities to assist C of O students and faculty.  I was able judge senior projects in May.  In July, HealthMEDX invited C of O faculty to share in its success with MO Governor Jay Nixon and HMX C of O alumni in the form of an incentives announcement.  In October, I was able to guest lecture on n-Tier application development and I recently had the opportunity to speak at the ACM Meet & Greet.  I wanted this post to serve as a big thanks to HealthMEDX for the chance to help assist the C of O Computer Sciences Program.  I’d also like to thank C of O students and faculty for the invitations to do so.  I truly hope that my experiences and knowledge help the program.

July of 2011 – C of O Faculty and Alumni (now HealthMEDX employees) with MO Governor Jay Nixon at a press release event in which an economic incentive package was announced to help generate 65 new jobs at HealthMEDX.

December of 2011 – ACM Meet and Greet - C of O alumni gave their career experiences and provided tips on: interviewing, landing the first job, and what to expect after graduation.  Guest Speakers: Melissa Wagner (FedEx), Bill Christenson (HealthMEDX), Joel Cash (Cerner).
