    // For students in the Business school, ask if they have 
    //     found an internship yet.  If so, the 
    //     message is: "Congratulations!  I know you must have impressed 
    //                      the company quite a bit."
    //     Otherwise:  "You may be out of luck because most of the 
    //                      internships are probably gone by now."

    // For students in the Liberal Arts school, ask if they have 
    //     started their engineering project yet.  If so, the 
    //     message is: "That sounds interesting, and I look forward to reading it."
    //     Otherwise:  "You're going to be under a huge time crunch, 
    //                      if you don't even have a topic by this point."
