Excelling at Deloitte
Spotlight on Alumnus Saul Huerta (CO)

This past summer, one of our own has been interned with College Summit partner Deloitte.  Saul Huerta (2006 Community College of Denver Workshop) completed an internship in the IT office of Deloitte's Shared Services Department in Denver, Colorado.  His day to day tasks revolved around providing technology support including troubleshooting various laptop issues.  One of Saul's achievements in his role this summer was being part of the team that provided technology orientation to approximately 150 consultants - members of a company that Deloitte recently acquired.  He is proud of the level of work that was required on his part and also what he refers to as the "smooth orientation process" that resulted.

Saul's advice to anyone who may want to have a similar professional experience one day is to "work hard and never look down upon yourself.  Never let anyone tell you that you cannot do something.  You can achieve whatever you set your mind to do."  He further explains how his Deloitte experience has helped prepare him for success in future endeavors.  "It has given me a sense of what it is to be in a professional organization by giving me exposure to the corporate world.  Having this summer under my belt has given me more confidence for next year."

As Saul ended his summer with Deloitte he headed back to school, entering his sophomore year as an accounting major at the University of Denver.  His activities there include serving as a member of Sigma Lambda Beta International Fraternity Incorporated, and serving as Secretary for the Latino Student Alliance.  College Summit is proud of Saul's accomplishments and wishes him the best in the coming year!
