Lloyd Shoriwa, who completed three internships with PPL, a Fortune 500 utilities company, was offered a full-time position as an associate security analyst in December, when he completed his bachelor\u2019s degree in Computer and Network Security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lloyd is a self-starter who had his first internship as a sophomore with Wawa, says Mark J. Hufe, director of Cyber Security Education and chair of CNS at the College of Technology. He also served as a member of the Student Government Association and was active in Junior Achievement Delaware.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAfter one internship with PPL, they decided they wanted to see more and assigned Lloyd for a second internship with an entirely different group. Then there was a third internship with yet another group. Then they hired him,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His managers at the Allentown, Pennsylvania-based company were so impressed with Lloyd\u2019s performance they met with Hufe and Shannon Jost of Career Services to discuss building a more robust internship program with WilmU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLloyd really knocked it out of the park, representing the university well with a good work ethic, social skills and technical skills,\u201d Hufe says.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Besides on-the-job experience, student interns from Wilmington University gain a significant advantage in launching their careers.
