  1. Welcome to Loyola College Computer Science Department

  2. Why Computer Science? • Care about science? • Many applications - physics, biology, • Foundational questions about knowledge • Arithmetic is random!? - Gregory Chaitin • Care about others? • Help bridge the digital divide • Opportunities endless - Telecenter idea • Care about making a living? • Salaries are doing well - CNN

  3. Why Loyola? • Strong liberal arts education • Strong computer science department • All research faculty have won NSF funding • All come from first rate schools • Accredited program • Strong local employers in Baltimore/Washington area • NASA, NSA, NOAA, DOD, Lockheed Martin, Booz Allen Hamilton and many more • Internships, summer research, grants

  4. Oh, students have fun …

  5. … and achieve. • Jon Squire • Now at Dow Jones - information security • Rachel Knickmeyer 2003 • Now at Georgia Tech- user interface design • Scott Emrich 2002 • Now at Iowa State - bioinformatics
