Computer science major Jordan Scharkey ’22 was attracted to Pacific because of the School of Engineering and Computer Science’s co-op program. He recently completed an internship with the computer graphics company, NVIDIA , and is now working on an artificial intelligence project. When he’s not busy programming, he can be found in the Lair playing pool with the Pacific Stripes and Solids Billiards Club (he’s also club president).
