He exhibited poise under stress and demonstrated flexibility during the final push to delivering a functioning system." and "I was the faculty advisor for Connor's senior design team. They had an extremely successful project and Connor's participation was key to that. He was professional from day one, was the defacto team leader, took feedback well, and was always willing to volunteer for tasks. I worked in industry for 20 years so the highest praise I can give a student of mine is that I would hire them. I would highly recommend working with Connor."
