鈥淭he small community of computer science at TROY is a big asset. I have made close connections with professors, other students and also with the staff. The secretary of the Computer Science Department, Doris Jordan, was also amazingly helpful in planning classes and providing advice based on her experiences. I am still in touch with Dr. Zhong and he has been one of my advisors even after graduating from college. I was inclined toward technology and the computer program seemed attractive in my first year. After I started the initial computer classes, I loved the experience and content and decided to pursue computer science at TROY. 鈥�
