"Working with the University, I was able to obtain a wonderful internship at PSECU and my mentor was an IT Project Manager from Deloitte. With the knowledge that I gained from Harrisburg University and my experience as an intern, I was hired full-time at PSECU where I am now an IT Project Manager. Harrisburg University has given me the tools to get me started on what promises to be a very successful career."
