    FHSU Informatics graduates - out in the world
    Casey Lee
    (2003)
    Network Administrator Assistant
    First National Bank
    Hays, KS
    The INT program at FHSU equipped me with the tools and knowledge required to build a strong foundation in the technology field. This groundwork enabled me to secure a position as Network Administrator Assistant with a local bank. Everything we do in life carries with it a cost of some kind. Therefore, I always try to figure rather or not a potential return justifies my investment. I can say with confidence that the INT program was a smart/ profitable investment for me!

    Without the in-depth base knowledge acquired in pursuing an INT degree, I would not have been confident in the quality of the work I am now capable of producing. The education at FHSU was one of the best investments I have made in myself.
