Sherrie Littlejohn, who broke race and gender barriers in the 1980s as one of the first black women in computer science leadership, was overworked and dog-tired her entire time as a graduate student at the Illinois Institute of Technology. Littlejohn worked at Bell Telephone Laboratories in Naperville, Illinois during the daytime while taking classes for her master’s degree in computer science at nighttime. She graduated from Illinois Tech in 1982 after finishing her undergraduate at Xavier University in 1979. To this day, she still recalls taking her fair share of naps in Stuart Building during night classes just to wake up at 1 a.m. to see her classmates still working.

With great power comes great responsibility. Like that, with great interviews comes a great amount of preparation. I experienced this in my fatal first interview attempt with Microsoft. I interviewed last week for a product lead position with the hopes and dreams of a naive young boy. But sooner I realized I went to war yielding a spear made of sponge against a fire-spitting dragon. I would rate my interview experience as the most terrible one, including all that is yet to come. 

I have always admired people who could straight away head into an unknown group and talk with everyone comfortably. I always wondered: how do they even do that? Do they not care about being judged? Do they not feel like their head is going to explode in anxiety? Do they not sweat profusely and just run away so far from those strange set of judgmental eyes? Well, these are some of the first thoughts in an introvert's brain in an unfamiliar social group. If you are wondering what their brain thinks if they are asked to speak out in public, well you will have to find out once an introvert wakes up from a blackout.

Benjamin Barber, incoming executive president of the Illinois Institute of Technology Student Government Association (SGA), was hesitant to say that handling the return to in-person classes and the continuing COVID-19 pandemic would be the defining features of the new SGA executive board — or be its legacy.

Whether we choose to admit it or not, we have all had the feeling of uncertainty while viewing art - the feeling of “I just don’t get it”. Is it because we aren’t looking close enough? Is it maybe because art just isn’t our thing? Or maybe it takes more than just using your eyes to look at a painting? You start to question your imagination. You start doubting your interests and you tend to become apprehensive about investing your time into something that you think is not for you. This may not always be the case. Some people fall in love with art with the first few paintings they look at. It appeals to them in ways that any other passion or interest would to other people. The truth is - looking at art, like any other art form, takes time and effort to enjoy and get good at, and just because you are not an artist or an art expert does not mean you cannot enjoy viewing art like one. It is just a matter of using your imagination and knowing what to look for.

Containers are virtualized components of an Operating System (OS) that use “namespaces” technology in the OS where multiple applications can be run isolated without interfering with each other on a single piece of hardware. Imagine a software developer who wants to run multiple versions of applications in a single system. The system will not allow such processes. Here is how a container technology called Docker fits in! Docker will create a virtualization environment on top of the existing OS. In simple terms, containers are virtual environments except the OS is virtualized instead of hardware typically used in virtual machines. A developer can run multiple applications in separate containers in a single system without applications interfering with each other. This is one of the common use cases in the Information Technology (IT) industry, where developers want to test their applications on multiple versions of a software component.

The suggestion that the virus which causes COVID-19 was developed in an experiment is among the many unsubstantiated claims that have threatened efforts to keep people updated during pandemic. Misinformation is dangerous. The overwhelming majority of scientists who have researched the virus, however, believe that it originated spontaneously and spread to humans from such an animal species, most likely a bat.

The Pomodoro technique is a time management method, developed by Francesco Cirillo in the 1980s. It consists of setting a timer to break down your studying into intervals of 25 minutes each, separated by five minutes breaks. The idea is that the timer instills a sense of urgency. Rather than procrastinating that assignment all day long, you can set yourself to do as much of it as possible in the 25 minute time-span.
