About ALTA Guest Talks

Every semester, each ALTA campus hosts an industry mentor for an in-person talk: a chance for students to hear how things really work outside the classroom and ask their own questions.

Top product companies hire for problem solving and for proof that you can build. The first two years of college decide how much of both you have by the time internships begin.
