O’Connor hasn’t just made the most of co-op for herself. "I know my college career would not have been what it was if it weren't for the support of other women in computing." "Attending the conferences was a game changer for me," said O'Connor. She secured positions at both companies through career fairs she attended at Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing conferences. O'Connor, who will earn a Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering and a Master of Engineering in Computer Science this spring through the Accelerated Engineering Degree (ACCEND) Program, has already worked for two of the top employers in her field: Apple and Tesla. O’Connor was recently honored with the 2021 Herman Schneider Medal, which is awarded annually to a graduating senior in the UC College of Engineering and Applied Science for distinction as an exemplary co-op student - one who has taken fullest advantage of the unique opportunities of cooperative education.
