Ethan Walter is a senior majoring in English. He heard about the ATLAS Internship Program from Dr. Kirstin Wilcox during a visit to the Humanities Professional Resource Center. Ethan is a Website Content Strategist for the University of Illinois System's Office of the Chief Financial Officer (CFO)/OBFS! Ethan's responsibilities include analyzing the OBFS-type institutions' websites of the University of Illinois' peers. He also facilitates information-gathering sessions and focus groups with both OBFS stakeholders and users, as well as archiving analytic data that pertains directly to the OBFS website. Ethan is currently archiving a large amount of OBFS' data using Google Analytics. This process typically involves cross-checking, labeling, and compiling the information for his team and the larger audience that OBFS serves. 

Ethan plans to enter a Master's program in Library and Information Sciences in the Fall! The ATLAS Internship Program has given Ethan a greater sense of familiarity with data management software, a sense of confidence in report-writing and presenting skills, and a greater understanding of how to operate as a member of a team. A fun fact about Ethan is that since transferring to the University of Illinois, he has become incredibly interested in music by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds!
