Date of contact

Outcome (i.e., did you get a response? If not, what is your follow-up plan? Did you meet? When? What was the result?)

  I haven't gotten any responses as of yet, but I am anticipating responses shortly to potentially meet with sources over the 
  break week.

How do you feel like this relationship will benefit you in your longterm professional development?

  Alex Schaefer: Having a degree in physics, I want to know what the different fields of STEM research are accessible to me in
  this field of software engineering and how to direct my studies accordingly.
  
  Ryan Tyler: Ryan works in machine learning, a field that I am very interested in. As well, he works with the cloud on a regular
  basis, and could help me direct my research on the android app we will be designing for the capstone project.
  
  Bekah Lundy: Bekah would have a great deal of insight into what hiring options are available to me if I want to continue being
  a student as well, and maybe what types of job I should search for that would allow me to juggle these two priorities.
