Hello everyone! My name is Carson Cronk and I am majoring in Management Information Systems with a certificate in Global Leadership. Through my global theme of technology and society, I want to help people around the world adapt to a world of advanced technology and innovation. Through my Beyond the Classroom Experience, I was able to expand my horizon through an internship with a technology company.
This summer, I had the incredible opportunity to work at ATG, a tech company founded in Missoula. Summer in Montana is my favorite time of the year. For this reason, I couldn't resist the urge to stay in Missoula and gain experiences that will help me kickstart my career. ATG (which is owned by Cognizant) was an incredible fit because they are a technology consulting company that has an expansive array of clients and services across the world, yet they have deep roots in the local community. These are both values that I share, and I was thrilled to spend twelve weeks of my summer learning more about ATG, the technology industry, and the art of consulting.
Over the course of the summer, six other interns and myself worked through multiple tech advisory projects and expanded our networks through mentoring from the leading minds at the company. I was also able to work with a local non-profit in a systems integration project. As the project manager, I lead our team through each stage of the project and made sure we delivered a solution that advanced their mission. All of these experiences were an incredible privilege and I learned so much about being a leader. I gained invaluable experience in business consulting and the future of technology, two skills that directly align with my personal aspirations and my global theme. I am so grateful for this opportunity and can't wait to see what the future holds!
