Student Spotlight:
Anna Lanzillotta

Anna Lanzillotta, an electrical engineering student in UC's College of Engineering and Applied Science, landed her dream co-op job at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston for the 2019 fall semester as an audio systems engineer. She worked in the audio group of the human interface branch, which deals with human interactions and communications in space. One project enabled her to conduct audio analysis of the speakers and microphones that will be used inside the next generation spacesuit for future Artemis missions.

Employer Spotlight:
St. Vincent de Paul

St. Vincent de Paul participated in UC’s Service Learning Co-op program, which provided wage assistance to support several students who served in their pharmacy for the past several semesters.  According to Lydia Bailey, St. Vincent de Paul’s Clinical Pharmacy Manager, their three work study interns logged over 300 hours managing medication inventory, dispensing prescriptions, counseling patients and more, which would normally have cost $4,000 in salary compensation, which they could not have afforded as a 501c3 nonprofit.
