In the issue: supercomputers, 'American Idol' star, companies that hire Lopes
Whatnot, a digital marketplace and livestream shopping platform, counts 32 Lopes as part of its roster.
It shared with GCU Magazine in the cover story of the August issue what makes the university's alumni and students desirable hires. Writers also spoke with the Arizona Diamondbacks, Terros Health and general contractor Hensel Phelps about why they love to hire Lopes.
It’s just one of the stories in the latest issue of the magazine, which has a new look and 12 more pages to tell the stories of the university.
