Karen Beauchamp graduated from the OEM program in 2004.  She is a member of the Systems Analysis, Computer Sciences group at Raytheon located on Patrick Air Force Base.  Here is what she had to say.

“The OEM Program has provided me with so much! I’ve learned things that are directly and immediately applicable to my job; my boss is constantly pinging me about what I’ve learned in OEM and asking me how I think it can best be used in our department. I’ve developed the skills required to excel at my current position or to move on to larger responsibilities, and I’ve made friendships that I’m certain will last a lifetime. And best of all, I’m a Gator! I went into the program with great expectations, and have benefited even more than I could have imagined.”
