Baldwinsville Graduate and Current OCC Student Lands Prestigious Internship at Micron

Sam Pondossi, an Onondaga Community College (OCC) student, left his retail job nine months ago to join OCC's Electromechanical Technology program. He found the practical coursework and smaller class sizes beneficial. Pondossi, a Baldwinsville High School graduate, had attended the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) before joining OCC in fall 2023. He found OCC's learning environment more supportive and collaborative.

In his first semester at OCC, Pondossi secured a paid internship at Micron, a company he knew about before college. His successful application led to an interview and his selection for the internship. This will allow him to use his academic skills in a practical setting.

Pondossi will start his internship at Micron's Manassas, Virginia location in early June. It will end before the fall semester, giving him work experience in his field. He is looking forward to this opportunity, seeing it as a stepping stone beyond graduation.

Pondossi's experience shows the potential benefits of making changes and following one's interests. His decision to leave his job and return to college has led to new opportunities, including a possible full-time position at Micron after his internship.
