"I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with my computer science
education, and I knew co-op could give me some hands-on
experience in the IT field. So far, co-op has helped me to

discover what my working style is and what I enjoy doing the
most." says Pam Tatroff , a student at University of WaterLoo.
