Experience at NCCS
"I have had a wonderful experience with the NCCS through my time working here so far. The people who I have the privilege of working with are both brilliant and very supportive. Additionally, I have had great exposure to sides of computing that I was much less familiar with, and I am constantly challenged to learn new skills and apply them to my projects."
