When our discipline was newborn, there was the usual perplexity as to its proper name. We at Chapel Hill, following, I believe, Allen Newell and Herb Simon, settled on “computer science” as our department’s name. Now, with the benefit of three decades’ hindsight, I believe that to have been a mistake....
A folk adage of the academic profession says, “Anything which has to call itself a science isn’t.” By this criterion, physics, chemistry, geology, and astronomy may be sciences; political science, military science, social science, and computer science are not. --Fred Brooks

How would you describe your WSSU experience?
Amazingly interesting. From the people that Iâve met to the different experiences that Iâve had to the situations that Iâve been in and witnessed. But I wouldnât trade this experience for anything.
What were some of your favorite parts of your college experience?
Connecting with like minded individuals, meeting new types of people, gaining life long friends, and unforgettable experiences.
Have you engaged in internships, research projects, study abroad, student leadership, community outreach, or other experiences that are enhancing your time at WSSU?
I participated in research during my first two years and summers at WSSU and then I had an internship Nationwide during my third summer. I also experienced student leadership and community outreach through Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. as I was Chapter President for an organization known for its service.
Did you face any obstacles while pursuing your degree?
The biggest obstacle was definitely speaking to people. Iâve never been the most outgoing person, and Iâm still not, but I have come so far from when I first arrived at Winston.
What are your plans after graduation?
Iâm honestly still trying to decide this myself. Iâve had a lot of good opportunities present themselves to me but what Iâm leaning more towards right now is attending graduate school at A&T where Iâve been accepted into the Masters and PhD programs for Computer Science.
Are there any particular faculty, coaches, mentors, or staff that made a difference in your life?
Iâve had a lot who have definitely impacted me whether they know it or not. Of course my department chair, Dr. Elva Jones. The first professor I connected with and fraternity brother, Dr. Frederick Roundtree. My research mentor, Dr. Mustafa Atay. One of my favorite professors, someone I can always come talk to, and soror, Dr. Rebecca Caldwell. And of course, I could never forget the Honors Programâs heart and soul, Ms. Carolyn Thomas. Outside of WSSU, my mentor and fraternity brother, Mr. Reginald McCaskill. All of these people had an incredible impact on my life as well as some of my biggest decisions, opportunities, and accomplishments.

How would you describe your WSSU experience?
My time at WSSU has been an amazing journey. I have learned so much about myself in these four years. My courses have been challenging and my professors have always pushed me to be better.
What were some of your favorite parts of your college experience?
My favorite part of my college experience has been the people I have met in college both faculty and students. They have all taken part in my success in college.
What was it like to study in China and Brazil?
Studying abroad got me out of my comfort zone and taught me that learning does not always happen in a classroom. I learned about the world and the different cultures that I was surrounded by. I became more understanding of other cultures and I also had a chance to share my own culture with the world.
How did study abroad enhance your college experience and prepare you for your next step?
Thanks to studying abroad I was able to make my resume Stand out. I showed that I am able to work with people from varies backgrounds and that I am culturally competent. After studying abroad, I also decided to pursue a minor in Portuguese which also made me trilingual ; thus making me competitive for the job marker.
What obstacles did you face while pursuing your degree?
It was not easy to be away from home. Although my hometown, Charlotte, is only an hour and a half away due to my classes and clinical I was not able to spend as much time with my family as I would of liked to.
What are your plans after graduation?
After graduation I will start working as a nurse . I have been offer a job at Presbyterian Hospital back in my home town for which I am very grateful. Eventually I would like to become a travel nurse.
Are there any particular faculty, coaches, mentors, or staff that made a difference in your life?
The Office of International Programs has become like a second home to me. Deana Brim, Rickford Grant, and Jodi Sekhon have become my fa

"Simplicity is a great virtue but it requires hard work to achieve it and education to appreciate it. And to make matters worse: complexity sells better."

In 2014 a handful of companies in Boulder thought, “wouldn’t it be cool if the whole town celebrated Computer Science Education Week and Hour of Code?”
And so they did just that! There was a week long, town-wide celebration of technology, innovation, and computer science educational fun for parents, kids, and teachers.
Programs were open to kids as young as 4 and as old as high school. Apps were made, robots were built, Scratch was learned, and a lot of families exclaimed that this kind of learning disguised as festive fun was just what they needed to help their kids explore CSED.
