Dean's Update - October 2011

ROWLAND LEAVING

Micah Rowland, one of the mainstays of our support staff over the last almost ten years, is leaving SPSU to take up a new position as System Administrator at Georgia State University. I think I speak for all when I say that we are sad to see Micah leave, but I also realize that the new position offers a great new opportunity for him. I wanted to express my deep gratitude to Micah for all he has done for CSE and wish him success in his new position.

PUBLICATIONS

One of the ways in which we make sure that our programs stay up to date is by engaging in research. The following is a non-exhaustive list of publications that faculty in CSE have produced over the last six months or so. All of them were peer-reviewed, and many of them were co-authored by students.
