Senior IT students in the Capstone Project course ITEC 4750, under the direction of Associate Professor Dr. Neil Rigole, recently completed and presented final projects. Dr. Rigole shared, "These students have developed innovative, technically sound, and socially relevant solutions that reflect not only their dedication and growth, but also the collective impact of MGA teaching, mentorship, and support throughout their academic careers here at MGA."
Dr. Rigole emphasized, "Whether it’s full-stack development, enterprise platforms, cybersecurity simulations, or student-focused tools, our students continue to rise to the challenge and represent the best of what we hope to instill throughout their time here."
