In a blog post, Google engineer Howard Sueing wrote, “The pilot exceeded our expectations in many ways. Students and faculty noted both the rigor and immersion in life at Google as the program’s most compelling aspects, and the Googlers involved felt there was a true exchange of knowledge, culture and understanding.”
People were like “Howard paving the way”.
