I will be moving to Madison, Wis. in June to work at Epic Systems Corporation. At Epic I will be in Technical Services. I am excited about this experience, but I am also hoping to go to graduate school once I decide what area of study to pursue.

Maria Lopez

MME

2012

I have accepted a full-time engineering position with the world's largest food manufacturer, Nestle in their Purina PetCare division. I will be participating in a engineering management trainee program at their Crete, Nebraska location starting in June after graduation. I will be at this location for 18-24 months during my training and then I will be relocated to another Nestle Purina location, depending on my preference and the needs of the Company. In the future I may get into the machine design department of the company, but I'm waiting to see what I really love the most in the workforce. I'm super excited for this opportunity and determined to learn as much as I can for as long as I can with a company that I see myself being loyal to for years to come.
