ROCK ISLAND, ILLINOIS (May 12, 2023) — Augustana College senior Elizabeth Sloan, a computer science major from Rock Island, lllinois, was nominated to submit a “More Than I Imagined” profile by Dr Forrest Stonedahl, associate professor of computer science.
Annually, faculty nominate Augustana's seniors who have achieved remarkable academic or personal growth to appear in the college's “More Than I Imagined” series. Read Sloan's profile at More Than I Imagined.
Dr Stonedahl said it has been a great pleasure to watch Sloan's skills grow.
"From her very first computer science course (where she discovered the magical powers of Python) to an upper-level software development course (where she assumed the roles of UI/UX designer, Java programmer, and agile team facilitator), all the way to her acceptance into graduate school," he said. "Her can-do-anything attitude and witty sense of humor will surely be missed!"
