50th Anniversary

On the weekend of September 20 & 21, 2019, current and past associates of the Department of Computer Science gathered to celebrate the 50th birthday of the Department.  Attendees came from points far-and-wide, including Great Britain (Lennie Norris) and Alaska (Rob Sherry), and from times spanning the present back to before the Department of CS was formed.
