Bell, a non-traditional

student who received her degree in Information Technology (IT) in July

of 2002, graduated Magna cum Laude with a 3.72 GPA from Clayton State.

"I love

my job," says Bell. "I am very impressed with Centex. The company

really stands by their claims of integrity and that is very important

to me."

Graduating

with honors certainly didn't hurt Bell's chances of getting a good job,

but she credits much of her success to Clayton State's IT professors and

the two internships she was required to take during her tenure as a student.

"During

my first internship, I was the project manager for the implementation

of Clayton State's New College web site (the New College is now called

the College of Information and Mathematical Sciences). I worked with a

faculty web developer/class instructor and a classroom of students to

insure the completion of the project." continues Bell.

"I accomplished

many of these tasks by using everything I had learned in my Systems Analysis,

project Management and Webmaster classes. There was very little or no

supervision. The way I chose to manage the project was entirely up to

me because I was proving myself as a Project Manager."

At Centex,

Bell is the Pathways Administrator for the South Atlanta division. She

has been in Orlando, learning their program, which she will eventually

teach to the sales staff.
