On the afternoon of April 3, 2013, a large crowd gathered in Goodwin Hall on the occasion of the 5th Annual Queen’s School of Computing Awards ceremony. The awards were created to recognize excellence in various forms of endeavour, an opportunity to celebrate the contributions of those in the school who distinguished themselves through their exceptional work, and as an opportunity to say thank you to those who made a difference in School life. The awards were presented by Selim Akl, Director of the School of Computing.
