Also—to make sure that the connections are made between your application and the people at SCANA who are doing the interviewing, drop an email to Dr. Valtorta. He is keeping a list and will forward that periodically to SCANA to make sure that no one’s name is lost in the shuffle.

I (Duncan) am also told that they are “always” in the process of hiring co-ops, so people graduating May 2008 might also want to send their names to Dr. Valtorta and to apply online.
