Michael Schaefer


Programmer
   Besides the obvious that I am a Senior CS student at ODU, I am also a scholarship NROTC Midshipman, set to be commissioned by the Navy in May 2005, right after graduation. I entered ODU with 33 transfer credits as a result of dual-enrollment during high school. This helped tremendously in my efforts to earn my degree in Computer Science in four years. Sometimes as a result, however, I find myself the youngest and least experienced of the pack of CS students.

   My goals are to earn a BS in CS, enter the Navy as a commissioned officer in the Surface Warfare Community, eventually switching to the Information Professional Community. There I will hope to bring my knowledge of and enthusiasm for computing in an effort to keep the Navy on the edge of computer and network technology. I also hope to attend the Naval Post-Graduate School in an effort to earn a Master's in Computer Science.
