Re: FIRST Alumni: How's College Going?

While I haven't started college yet and posted on the other thread, I'm starting my freshman year at University of Wisconsin- Madison and thinking of Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering at the moment. Signed up for freshman courses and I'm excited as heck.

I just finished orientation 2 weeks ago and planning to join Wisconsin Robotics, Club Racquetball (cause I've been playing Racquetball for a while now during High School), and Club Table Tennis. I'm gonna need to step up my time management skills cause there is so much to do in college!

As for FRC, I'm taking a break to focus on college and just thinking of just volunteering at MN/WI events. I'll for sure be able to volunteer at the Wisconsin regional or the Iowa regional since it's during spring break.. volunteering at MN events might be tough since I may have to miss lectures/labs, but I'll for sure be able to volunteer at the MN state championship which will take place mid may.

I'm already on the look out for summer internships for 2017 and will attend career fairs across campus to talk to companies looking for summer interns. I'd appreciate any strategies in addition to networking with professionals that work to get internships early in college. I'm already in the FIRST alumni group on LinkedIn so that might help with opportunities.
