Meet Paige Youngdahl, a senior at Wichita State majoring in information technology and management information systems. This past summer, Paige advanced her skills as a data analyst intern at Koch Industries.
Reflecting on the experience, Paige says her favorite part has been connecting classroom concepts to real-world applications. “I can’t explain how many things clicked that I didn’t fully understand from my classes. I have learned so much and have met so many amazing people.” Paige encourages other students to pursue internships, saying, “For me, it was like two puzzle pieces were coming together. I’m currently learning the textbook knowledge I need, while also seeing how this knowledge is used in a business.”
