Spotlight: Alyssa Tripp

Prepared for the Future

Each year, over 400 companies and thousands of recruiters—many who are Michigan Tech alumni—head to Career Fair with one goal: to recruit the next generation of Huskies to the workforce.

Alyssa Tripp '26, a software engineering major, had applied to software company Creative Mines for a summer internship experience prior to Fall Career Fair. She used the event to build a stronger connection with the potential employer, and ultimately secured a co-op experience with the company for the summer of 2025.

"During my co-op experience, I worked with real-world clients to build React web applications," said Tripp. "I met with stakeholders, demoed my own code, and learned industry standards. The coolest thing to me was that all of the code I was writing was actually going out into the real world and being used by real users as soon as the next day. It was awesome to get real-time feedback like that and know that the things I was doing had an actual effect on users."
