IT Job Shadowing

In his application, Immanuel stated that he wanted to see complex IT environments and how people deal with complex problems. So far, I've made contact with the following companies and organizations requesting a "job shadowing" opportunity. All four contacts welcomed Immanuel and invited him to come observe how IT is done in the USA.

City of Champaign: Fred Halenar (Information Technologies Director) set up two half-days for Immanuel -- Butch Johnson (Network Engineer) from 12noon to 4pm on Tuesday October 16; and Brenda Reed (Network Technician) from 12noon to 4pm on Wednesday October 17.
Volition: Rory Prendergast (Network Administrator) will be hosting (Tuesday October 23).
Wolfram Research: Ken Miller (Network Operations Specialist) will be hosting (Wednesday October 24 from 9:30am to 5pm).
Parkland College: Connie Macedo's department will be showing Immanuel around (Thursday, October 18 from 8am to 12pm).
