“One of the best professional
experiences ever,” that’s how David Ortiz describes his participation at the
NBA-Cisco Dream Team at the NBA All-Star Game in New York City. Along with 29 students
from different colleges and universities in our area, David assisted NBA techs
in many aspects and locations that included Madison Square Garden, Waldorf
Astoria Hotel, and the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. “Whatever the NBA techs
needed, we did,” said David. “We were setting up Cisco phones and we were
constantly making sure there was connectivity between the wires. We set
up access points, and switchers.”
From February 7-16th all the students were immersed into the program where Cisco and the NBA were the big players of the week, but David learned other valuable things outside the technology field, “Work as a team, don’t be afraid to designate work, and have fun with it. It was very exciting.”
The Dream Team included 30 students and 2 instructors and assisted the NBA IT staff in different areas where Cisco technologies played a crucial role. When asked if David was up to the task he responded, “I felt at an advantage compared to other students. There was a student who told me that Cisco was a self-study course at his college. My story is different; it’s always a hands-on experience… Also if you have questions my professor, Dr. Nwosisi, knows all the answers. I was very prepared for it.”
Congratulations to David Ortiz, and Dr. Nwosisi for nominating his student for this valuable experience.
