See how CS KickStart has impacted the Alumni's future careers!

Current Jobs!

"The summer after my junior year I interned at Amazon as a Sofware Development Engineer Intern, where I worked at Amazon Pharmacy to help streamline medication delivery. I will be returning to Amazon as a full-time SDE after graduation" - Maria Figueiredo, '25

"During the 2023-24 school year and summer of 2024, I worked at the Hoang Lab at the Kellogg Eye Center focusing on analyzing single cell RNA and ATAC sequencing data using R and a bit of Linux. It was challenging but also a very fun and rewarding experience, as I needed to learn from scratch how to operate the university's HPC cluster and use new R packages.

This upcoming summer of 2025 I will be working at Regeneron Pharmaceuticals as an intern for their DNA Core department in Tarrytown, NY. " - Ally Wang, '27

CSK Camp Week Memories!

"CSK camp week was the best way to start off my college experience. I was able to form friendships and become social within a small community that can influence me to branch out during welcome week! I still hang out with my friends from CSK camp week and I can't wait to deepen it more in the upcoming years." - Jacqueline Ko , '28

"Such an great way to be introduced to a smaller community at Michigan. I was able to meet passionate students and amazing mentors that I still reach out to." - Madison,  '25

Advice!

"Try out lots of new stuff in the beginning (clubs, classes, etc.), but don't stretch yourself too thin trying to do everything all the time -- recognize what you want to continue and drop the other stuff once you know it's not for you." - Amiya Johnson,  '27

"CSK is what you make of it—be open to making new friends and exploring computer science. I'm a BBA student, and right now, I'm taking ENGR 101 because I really enjoyed CSK!" - Marlien William,  '28
