We took a group of students to Trent to meet the director of the university's computer science department. We are setting up a collaboration: the students will be working on applied projects to tackle some Big Data that the department has collected from a number of research areas that need processing. Our goal is to use high performance computing (clusters or personal supercomputers) to tackle the data. Must brush up on Beowulf clusters and MPI.

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.

The fall 2012 hackNY student hackathon brought in hundreds of students to NYU's Courant Institute for 24 hours of creative collaborative hacking on New York City startups' APIs.
NYC Startups, selected by a student organizing committee, presented their technologies at the beginning of the event, after which students formed groups to work through the night implementing their own ideas for fresh hacks built on top of these APIs.
On Sunday afternoon students presented their projects to an audience including a judging panel featuring members of the NYC startup community, which selected the final winning teams.
Since April 2010, hackNY hosts student hackathons one each semester, as well as the hackNY Fellows program, a structured internship which pairs quantitative and computational students with startups which can demonstrate a strong mentoring environment: a problem for a student to work on, a person to mentor them, and a place for them to work. Startups selected to host a student compensate student Fellows. Students enjoy free housing together and a pedagogical lecture series to introduce them to the ins and outs of joining and founding a startup in NYC.
To find out what you missed at the fall 2012 hackNY student hackathon please do see our eventpage at hackerleague.org and the video of the student demos thanks to ISOC-NY.
Special thanks to our fall 2012 hackNY student hackathon judges! And congratulations to the winners of the fall 2012 hackNY student hackathon!

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.
A bunch of the CCS CS freshmen are taking CS 130A and were discussing red black trees and union find and hijacked Murat's class to talk about them after he gave them design patterns to look up and present next time; also Andrew made an artistic rendition of a red black tree. I only got 2 shots of it before my battery died while I was trying to turn off the flash; later Sunil erased it.
