Dear CS Alumnus:

The Department of Computer Science, your home for four years or so, is celebrating its 26th Anniversary. As a member of this family, we invite you to come home to see and experience the CS life as we have it today.

The Department has gone through a number of changes — from ES to ECS to CS, from a few lecture rooms to a new building, from 'the youngest department' to 'one of the best departments' in Engineering, from paper to online submission of academic requirements, from a few Radio Shack TRS 80’s running TRSDOS and Basic to fully-equipped laboratories running the latest software. Indeed we have gone through exciting transformations, but still we are the same CS Department that you know.

With 5 Outstanding Engineering Faculty awardees among our faculty members, with 7 Engineering Class Valedictorians, 2 Summa, 40 Magna and 121 Cum Laudes among our 1047 graduates (so far), with several BPI Science, P&G Excellence, and Undergraduate Research Competition winners among our students, and a curriculum that is constantly reviewed and revised to adapt to the dynamic discipline we are in, we keep alive the tradition of excellence that has always been the hallmark of our Department. With 22 CS Week celebrations, annual freshmen orientation and department-sponsored events and competitions, with the newly instituted Mentoring Program and GeeCS for academic-related activities, we continually strive to keep our students well-rounded as well.

No matter what period of the CS Department history you were a part of, no matter what contribution you have made, your Department is waiting for you to be back home. Be a witness to the way it has grown; better yet, be a part of it.
We hope to see you in February 24, 2007.
