Manuel A. Pérez-Quiñones, has been appointed to the new position of associate dean in residence and director for the office of diversity programs in The Virginia Tech Graduate School.

The week of September 14th was a busy week for Computer Science majors thinking about future career opportunities. Starting with the CSRC picnic on Sunday, September 14, CS majors had several opportunities to meet with CSRC company representatives. On Monday, September 15, the Computer Science Resources Consortium fall luncheon was held at the Inn at Virginia Tech, followed by the CS Career Reception later that evening in the Bowman Room of the Jamerson Athletic Center.  The four newest members of the CSRC were introduced: Booz Allen Hamilton,  DCS Corporation, Hughes Network Systems, and Modea. 

The members of the Computer Science Resources Consortium,  the department’s industrial affiliates group, were on campus to learn more about the department and to recruit students as full-time employees, interns, and cooperative education students. CSRC companies provide support to the Department of Computer Science and student groups. 

These events also provided an opportunity for students and company representatives to meet our new department head, Dr. Barbara Ryder.

Computer Science students, faculty, staff, representatives from corporate sponsors, and guests enjoyed a picnic at the Virginia Tech Duck Pond on Sunday, September 14.  Sponsored by the Computer Science Resource Consortium, all attending enjoyed delicious food, fun games, and an opportunity to make new friends and spend time with old ones.
