8th ANNUAL DEPARTMENT AWARDS BANQUET

On Wednesday, May 12th, Computer Science and Engineering recognized the students and staff members whose daily efforts bring excellence to the Department. The scholarships and special recognition awards were presented at the 8th Annual Awards Banquet.

Additionally, it was an opportunity to recognize the 10 year administration of Chairperson Stuart Zweben. Dr. Zweben is stepping down as of June 30th and this was the Department's best chance to publicly express its appreciation to Dr. Zweben for his service. It was especially appropriate to do so at this event as the banquet is one of his legacies. Photos of the salute to Dr. Zweben are available here.

Dr. Zweben had a surprise of his own prepared. He wished to recognize the thirty (30) years of service by Marty Marlatt. Details are here.

The program is available in pdf format here.
