    Department Spotlight

    Kevin AusterlitzKevin Austerlitz is a CS student who became interested in the program because he wants to get a broad picture of the subject rather than just focusing on a specific aspect. He likes the fact that it is a small program in which everyone gets to know each other. Specifically, he enjoyed taking csc436 because he has been able to apply it in his further endeavors in programming. Kevin has lots of experience in the field as a web designer and is currently doing an internship at APC working with Java and xml. Kevin enjoys programming and problem solving. When he isn’t at his computer he goes fishing, kayaking and skiing. He is interested in aviation as well and has his pilot’s license. After he graduates in 2009, Kevin plans on starting his career right away to gain enough experience to eventually start his own company in software development.

    I am writing from the Center for Nonviolence and Peace Studies located in the Multicultural Center.  We are in the process of re-organizing the Center and are in desperate need of a student who can re-design and manage our website.  We can offer an 3 credit independent study (CSC499 or independent study). It would be great if we could have someone lined up for next semester.
