Dear all,
On this beautiful spring day we would like to send out a warm welcome to our 2011 summer undergraduate research students. You are embarking upon an exciting summer of exploration and discovery. Your assignment will give you a taste of research at the highest level, as you work with a supervisor who is a recognized leader, nationally and internationally. Scientific research is a truly rewarding endeavor, especially for a computer scientist. Believe me, there is nothing like the thrill of realizing, for a brief yet exhilarating moment, that you have found something new, and that you are the first and only person in the world to know it.We hope that your summer experience will be informative and enriching, as well as helpful in planning your future career. Please look upon all the members of the School of Computing as your mentors and colleagues. We’re here to guide you and support you, and I look forward to meeting all of you over the next few months.
Congratulations and welcome to the School of Computing labs to:
