Welcome Alumni and Friends,
It has been a busy year for the Department of Computer Science (CS) with the plans and changes
that are needed to strengthen our department and its standing in the university. We have implemented
the renewal of our undergraduate program with updated introductory courses and new elective
courses that promote research experience for our students. Preparation has begun for the impending
accreditation of our undergraduate program.
Increased efforts are underway to improve the quality of our program so that we can attract and
retain good students. We are fortunate to have strong support from our external advisory board
(EAB), which consists of many distinguished CS professionals and alumni. They have also provided
great assistance in preparing a fundraising plan for our new laboratory for undergraduate students.
