This May, CATLab embarked on its annual trip to San Francisco, bringing along twenty-two students for an unforgettable deep dive into the heart of California’s tech industry.

Each May in downtown Santa Barbara, the glass doors to the CATLab office swing open to welcome a new cohort of student innovators. 

For the second installment of our CATLab Alumni Profiles, we spoke with Jonathan Lee ’21, a member of CATLab in 2019, about his current career in the software industry. He shared his experiences as well as his advice for students about to graduate and launch their own careers in the technology and software fields.

Here at CATLab, we’re so proud of our graduates! Many of the students who came through CATLab during their time at Westmont have leveraged the skills they learned in the program into exciting roles in the technology and software industries. We recently sat down with Alexa Gatiss ’23, who participated in CATLab in 2021 and 2022, to hear more about her current work and her advice for future CATLab students.

Ryan Magnuson and Nice Teta Hirwa reflect on the challenges they faced while creating new AI tools for Westmont's admissions department.

We started without a clue about what we were doing.

In this blog, Rosario Montane discusses her conversation with Dr. Holly Beers about imago dei and young tech professionals.

This summer, CATLab has been reflecting about our role as image-bearers.
