Several computer science graduates worked as student web developers in the Jonsson School’s Office of Strategic Marketing and Communications during the 2024 academic year. We caught up with three of them to find out what they would take away from their time at UT Dallas.

Jason Thanh Nguyen BS’24 intends to apply the skills he acquired through study as well as his work in the Jonsson School to further his career. “This experience taught me how to adapt my communication style to suit different roles and perspectives, ensuring that everyone was aligned toward a common goal,” Nguyen said. “This will be a valuable skillset that will be very helpful for me in my career after graduation.”

Natnal Weldselase BS’24 took away more than just a degree. “One thing I learned … is that working with a group and maintaining clear communication leads to better results,” Weldselase said. “You can only learn from others when you are willing and open to learning from them.”

Anh Tu Do BS’24 doesn’t plan to stop learning now that he’s wrapped up his time in the classroom. “My ultimate goal is to use the knowledge I’ve gained to expand my expertise,” Do said. “At the end of the day, what truly matters is not securing a good job but living a fulfilling life where you achieve your dreams and gain meaningful knowledge along the way.”
