Kurt Bachtold Kurt Bachtold is a Presidential Scholar who is starting his Service Learning Project at LILT in the Spring 2008 semester and continuing into the summer.  He is a sophomore that is a Computer Science major and considering different specialization areas including Programming and Web Development...sounds like a great match for LILT, eh?
Stephanie Bodanyi Stephanie is an intern for the Spring 2008 semester and hails from the English Department.  She is a Publishing major who is doing technical writing, converting print to web documents, and learning all things tech.  She is also our buff stock room person who can lift 500lbs of paper and is working her way up to participate in the World's Strongest Intern Competition.
Bryan Farris Bryan Farris is an intern from the School of Communication for the Spring 2008 semester.  His major is Mass Communication with a focus on Interactive Media.  Some of the goals we have for Bryan is to work on our Audio/Video helpsheets as well as create our podcasting training videos.  He will also get a taste of the LILT sample platter of projects including graphics, XHTML, CSS, and CMS. He is also the drummer in the band Coventry. 
Fred McGee Fred McGee is a Fine Arts Graphic Design major who is going to hone his electronic media skills at LILT starting in the Spring 2008 semester. He has already worked on multiple department sites and we hope to retain Fred for the long run (ofcourse actually duct-taping him to the chair seems to help).
