ME Student Wins 2006-2007 Anita M. Todd Internship Student of the Year Award

The winner of the 2006-2007 Anita M. Todd Internship Student of the Year Award is Caitlin Gallo, a junior in mechanical engineering. During summer 2007, Gallo completed an internship at Agilent Technologies in Budd Lake, N.J. During her time with the company, she completed an in-depth customer-needs assessment and created extensive mechanical and operating users manuals for multiple Agilent products. She also was the first summer intern in the history of the company to receive a Speed to Opportunity Award.

Dave Heintz, learning product manager for Agilent Technologies and the supervisor who nominated Gallo, said that she earned the honor for her "initiative and quick decision-making skills" when troubleshooting a problem in an area of production outside of her own.

Penn State Engineering Society members selected from a nominee pool of 16 candidates for the Anita M. Todd Internship Student of the Year Award. Gallo received a $1,000 scholarship from the Engineering Cooperative Education and Professional Internship Program.
