Wesley Book
Hometown: Friendship, Ohio
Expected Graduation: Spring 2019
Wesley is from Friendship, Ohio, a small town near the Ohio River. In high school, he experimented with software development by writing small programs to solve math equations – he was hooked – and knew he wanted to pursue a computer science degree.
He discussed the Russ College’s computer science program with many faculty members and decided to attend 91̽»¨. As alumni, Wesley’s parents happily supported his decision. He now encourages other students, including his younger sister, to attend OHIO.
In addition to being an Engineering Ambassador, Wesley is a member of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM). He has worked as a teaching assistant for many undergraduate computer science courses and completed three summer internships with Fluor BWXT in Piketon, Ohio, where he gained valuable hands-on experience developing real-world software solutions.
In his free time, Wesley rides four-wheelers, goes fishing and hiking, and hunts with his dog.
