ONE’s DC headquarters got a surprise visit today from Tomas Moreno of Wofford College in South Carolina. Tomas was in town for an OXFAM lobby day — and some top-secret work on Wofford’s Top 10 project that he was not at liberty to discuss (but was visibly excited about!).

DSC_0546While he was here, Tomas got a sneak-peek at some top-secret ONE projects, and got to be the first non-staff person to check out the new ONE website (our OCC pages will remain unchanged, but the rest of the ONE site is about to undergo a massive overhaul). He even found a problem on the new site that the rest of us had missed! Tomas also got a tour of the office, met and talked with staff from different departments, and got tips on his final project.

In addition to leading the #9-ranked OCC school in the country, Tomas is also the #3 ranked individual student with nearly 50,000 points racked up over the course of the year. He told me a little about what he’s thinking for his Africa Trip application and I can tell you, he is going to set the bar pretty high. Hopefully the other 19 students will bring their “A” games as well!
