NSA Cryptologic Museum

  • The National Cryptologic Museum led by curator Jennifer Wilcox. The tour began with speakers discussing NSA employment and opportunities as well as additional options such as summer programs and internships. This tour was one of the favorites of all students.

 

JHU-APL Applied Physics Lab

  • The APL tour was led by Outreach and Community Coordinator Connie Finney
  • First stop: video overview of what APL is involved in and career connections through a guest speaker.
  • The speaker emphasized networking, internships (even if voluntary), team work, collaboration, problem solving and independent thinking, communication skills (written and oral), as well as grades. "But experience is a must in today's economy-so get an internship."
