"Upon leaving the Computer Science Department at Canisius College I was inspired to work in the challenging field of computer graphics, underpinned by the confidence of a well-rounded education. My work now includes seminal films such as Star Wars and Avatar, and along the way I've even received an Academy Award, yet my love for the field was born a long way from Hollywood, in Dr. McConnell's graphics class."

"As I recall my time spent at Canisius, the most prevalent memories are those of the dedicated professors who truly devoted their time and talents to making sure that my fellow classmates and I were prepared for the challenges that lay ahead. The combination of small class sizes, broad interdisciplinary specialization among the faculty, and a curriculum designed to teach not only the theory of Computer Science, but also the practice, culminated in a valuable education greater than the sum of its parts. So well spent was my time at Canisius, that I felt not only confident in my abilities upon first entering the workforce, but also better prepared than my peers who had graduated from larger, research based institutions. This instilled confidence, backed by a solid foundation built upon thorough knowledge of concepts, and a work ethic forged by professors who simply would not accept mediocrity from their students, is a large part of how I got to where I am today."
