All internship responsibilities will be able to be completed asynchronously, with opportunities to meet on campus.

By subscribing to our patent-pending service, Textmate users receive a daily customizable text that organizes your assignments, due dates, commitments, and appointments. In essence, Textmate acts as a student's personal organizational assistant that eases the stress of keeping track of school assignments and responsibilities.
The idea came to fruition when Charlie created a program for himself to organize his own assignments. Shortly after that, the word spread, and Charlie was inundated with requests from students wanting to receive these same daily texts just like the ones he had created for himself. The Beta Trial confirmed that this is something students want and need. In just one month, students reported that because of Textmate, they knew about due dates, assignments, quizzes, and exams that they felt they may have otherwise missed.
