Tapan Soni - Guest Speaker at Glassboro High School

On December 5 th CS student, Tapan Soni, was a guest speaker at Glassboro High School. In
addition to talking about the hour of code activity, which many schools do to start teaching
their students programming, Tapan discussed why programming and computer science are
extremely useful and fun. He also talked about the computer science program at Rowan
University, our Center for Cybersecurity Education and Research and lab, and our GenCyber
camps. He has been invited back for further talks at the school.

Through Tapan’s efforts, these students may now consider computer science as a career path
and choose Rowan University as their college of choice. Thank you Tapan!

Rowan CS Programming Team Success!

On Saturday, November 9, 2019, Rowan University’s Computer Science department sent three teams of three programmers to compete in the International Collegiate Programming Contest. The teams, Rowan Silver, Purple, and Green, headed by Professor Darren Provine and Dr. Nancy Tinkham, traveled to Washington College in Chestertown, Maryland to compete in a regional competition. At the end of the day, Rowan Green, composed of Brian Chesko, Joseph Leclerq, and Marcus Penate, made it out as site champions. For their efforts, they were awarded a plaque for first place.

Every year, the International Collegiate Programming Contest (ICPC) holds a contest for college students worldwide to see who can solve the most real-world problems. Teams are composed of three students representing their university to compete at their regionals. If a team solves the most problems the fastest, they win the site that they attended. To learn more about the competition, see past/future competitions, visit their website https://icpc.baylor.edu/. If this seems appealing to you and you want to get involved, you can email Professor Darren Provine at kilroy@rowan.edu or Dr. Nancy Tinkham at nlt@rowan.edu.
