KSU Computer Science Department
2008 Annual Open House, Awards Ceremony, and Poster Conference
If you are a professor, graduate student, or undergraduate
student
in the KSU CS Department,
you should consider putting together a poster for the

Not only do we expect visitors from outside the department to attend,
including other KSU faculty and students, but this year we will have guests from
various companies based in northeastern Ohio, including a seminar by a local IT leader.
