FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
TEMPEST Network/Laboratories International, Inc. to Partner with DeVry/Atlanta
TNL Partners with DeVry/Atlanta to provide students with leading-edge internships
June 13, 1997 — TEMPEST Network/Laboratories International, Inc. (www.tempestlabs.net) of Smyrna, Georgia has a unique
CEO in Curtis Anderson. He is a Microsoft certified OEM, a Digital Equipment Corporation
OEM, an Intel affiliate and holds a FCC license. Mr. Anderson, a software and hardware
developer, has set two goals in his relationship strategy with DeVry. First, to be the
premiere Atlanta Corporation to have the most DeVry interns from some of DeVry’s
bachelor degree programs and secondly, have a long-term 5-year goal of being the largest
employer of DeVry graduates nationwide.
Mr. Anderson wants to develop a long-term partnership with DeVry/Atlanta’s internship
programs for Telecommunications Management (TCOM), Computer Information Systems (CIS) and
Electronics Engineering Technology (EET). "Knowing how technologies are merging
rapidly, TEMPEST Labs needs to have a huge diversity of technical skill sets," Mr.
Anderson pointed out. "Students will be working with the cutting edge of technology
in both hardware and software development." When asked what the students will be
doing specifically, Mr. Anderson replied that "students will be learning about
multimedia, Internet operations and management, network security, telecommunications
software, network operating systems and distance education."
Mr. Anderson believes that "partnering with reputable academic institutions is the
only way to meet my staffing needs in the 21 century. My attraction to DeVry is not only
the quality of students’ technical training but their general education as well.
It’s essential that TEMPEST’s future leaders have outstanding oral, written and
interpersonal communication skills. Besides, teamwork is the backbone of a successful
business."
At DeVry/Atlanta, the Telecommunications Management Bachelor of Science provides an area
of expertise that few schools teach in the country. Mr. Anderson is receiving the
assistance of Telecommunications Professor Tom Milham, who helped to start the program at
DeVry/Atlanta in October of 1995, to identify skill sets that will help match TEMPEST
Labs’ needs. Professor Jim Clarke of the Computer Information Systems Department will
also be assisting in this effort.
TEMPEST Network/Laboratories International, Inc. is a privately held company that aims to
be the leading provider of products and services in the Internet, online and
built-to-order industries. The company actively pursues alliances with leading companies,
organizations and individuals interested in providing superior technology. .
