CS 32nd Anniversary

Join us for a special anniversary on March 1, 2015
Wellesley Science Center, 3:00-5:00

32 (2^5) years since the first graduates of the
Wellesley CS Department!

 Watch the anniversary event live starting at 3:15!

This year, immediately following our Cirque du CS, we are hosting a special anniversary celebration for the department. According to the Minutes of Academic Council, the Department of Computer Science, and a CS Major, were voted into existence on March 11, 1982, and the department course listings first appeared in the 1982-83 catalog. It has been 32 years since the first CS majors graduated from this new department. This may seem like an unusual anniversary to celebrate, but not for a computer scientist! We will mark this event with reflections on the history of the department by Randy Shull and Eric Roberts (the first Chair of the CS department!), the future vision of the CS department from Orit Shaer, memories of the department from alumnae, and lots of opportunity for sharing stories and experiences between CS students, faculty, and alumnae. We will have artifacts, old photos and documents on display, showcasing the history of the department.

Stay up to date with what's going on leading to and during the anniversary event by following us on Twitter (@WellesleyCS). You can join the conversation by using the hashtag #WellesleyCS32
