Women in Technology (WIT) Club visits Microsoft

The Women in Technology (WIT) student club at Saint Martin's University organized a visit to Microsoft for WIT and the Society of Women Engineers (SWE) students. Adam Citterbart — software engineer at Microsoft and Saint Martin's graduate from the Microsoft Software and Systems Academy (MSSA) certificate program (predecessor to the current WaVets2Tech Certificate program) — organized a series of activities for an in-depth look at the company's operations and culture. This event, designed for students interested in technology careers, included a tour of the Microsoft campus and discussions with software engineers about the company's culture, job roles, hiring process and interview preparation.

During this special event, students had the chance to interact closely with experienced software engineers from Microsoft, providing them with a window into the company's culture and their personal experiences working as software engineers. Participants gained valuable insights into working at Microsoft and the technology industry at large. The event facilitated direct interaction with Microsoft software engineers, enabling students to ask questions and receive advice on pursuing careers in technology and insider tips on interviewing for tech jobs.

Feedback from attendees was overwhelmingly positive, with many describing the visit as an invaluable learning experience. The WIT club at Saint Martin's University is grateful for the effort and dedication of Saint Martin’s MSSA graduate and his colleagues at Microsoft. The event underscored the MSSA graduate's commitment to leveraging their network and knowledge to benefit the next generation of tech innovators.
