"The Computer Science Department helped me to adapt their internship program to allow me to complete a summer Research Experience for Undergraduates at Texas A&M, Corpus Christi. The REU made me a very desirable candidate for graduate schools. As a result of this experience, I wrote a paper that was published at an international conference."
