Message from the President – 2023
Greetings to the members of the University of Arkansas Academy of Computer Science and Computer Engineering (UAACSCE)!!
It is my honor and privilege to serve as the new President as we enter our 7th year as an Academy. UAACSCE was created in the Spring of 2017 with the goal of serving our alumni while engaging with current faculty and students.
The Academy membership is committed to giving back through the following dynamics:
1. Providing personal and professional examples and mentoring to the Department’s students.
2. Providing advisory guidance and counsel to the Department’s Faculty and Staff.
3. Annual recognition of those graduates of the Computer Science and Computer Engineering Department and others closely affiliated with the department who bring honor as professionals, practitioners and as citizens.
4. Encouraging personal, corporate, foundation, and government gifts, grants and endowments of money, equipment, and facilities to the University’s Board of Trustees for the benefit of the Department.
The pandemic threw several hurdles in our mission objectives when it came to in-person banquet, connecting with students involved in Capstone projects and gaining more academy members to further build our vision. I am happy to report our 2023 banquet on April 14th inducted eight new members while rewarding one of our Academy families with tickets to a Razorback victory over Tennessee. Our Academy remains committed to creating a mutually beneficial lifelong relationship between all involved with Computer Science and Computer Engineering. Our fiscal year begins on July 1st, as we look to retain active members while engaging with archived associates of the Academy. We look forward to expanding our membership to distinguished members like yourself to continue the partnership between the Academy and the Department
