Each year UMM's computer science folks have a end-of-the-year picnic called the Byte Bash. This year's bash was yesterday (5 May), and unfortunately upheld the recent tradition of icky weather, being cool, damn, and dreary. Consequently we had it inside again.
None of these have been edited or cleaned, except for being shrunk to make the uploads go faster.

just before this moment my sister (a.k.a. my assistant) dropped her hard-boiled egg on the ground and it went rolling down the busy street gathering salt as it went. my breastfeeding sis is always ravenous so she yelled out maniacally my egg!! that's what they are laughing at. the rolling egg and the fact that my funny brother had yelled out now it just has some salt on it, you can still eat it!!!
maybe this is one of those 'you had to be there' moments.

The spring 2013 hackNY student hackathon brought in hundreds of students to Columbia University's Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science April 6-7 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 spring 2013 hackNY student hackathon please do see our HackerLeague event page and blog post announcing the winners.
Special thanks to our spring 2013 hackNY student hackathon judges! And congratulations to the winners of the spring 2013 hackNY student hackathon!

A new class of apps and wireless devices used by private pilots during flights for everything from GPS information to data about nearby aircraft is vulnerable to a wide range of security attacks, which in some scenarios could lead to catastrophic outcomes, according to computer scientists at the University of California, San Diego and Johns Hopkins University. They presented their findings Nov. 5 at the 21st ACM Conference on Computer and Communications Security in Scottsdale, Ariz.

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.

Could you also provide me with a few quotes by answering these questions:
What is your best memory of WSSU?
"My best memory was attending the Annual Biomedical Research Conference (ABRCMS) with the MARC U*Star and RISE NGIMS Program. It was a wonderful experience. I got to see friends I've made over the years from other institutions and the graduate school fair was extremely helpful in my decision for the next step. I also enjoyed volunteering at the organic garden down the street."
What do you love about WSSU?
"The faculty and administrators are VERY welcoming. They've provided meals for me, transportation to the airport, taken me to their church and even invited me in to their homes. They really look out for my well-being. I don't have any family nearby so its is wonderful to find so many people that are willing to make sure that I am okay. The same goes for students. WSSU truly fosters a familial environment."
What do you plan on doing after you graduate?
"I expect to start my biomedical sciences PhD at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in Bronx, NY. I currently have plans to pursue neuroscience however, I am open to whatever presents the most interest during my rotations.
How has WSSU prepared you for the future?
"As a member of WSSU's RISE program, it is expected that we have something lined up post graduation therefore, they are more than accommodating for such preparation. They funded me and several other senior for Kaplan GRE prep, they granted us half off vouchers (we'd only pay $100 instead of the $200), and they wrote AMAZING recommendation letters for each school that I applied. They also guided me in writing my personal statement. In addition to my program, my amazing mentor Dr. Kanu did they same. He also nominated me for several awards that I didn't even know existed, incorporated me into his international Chemist without Borders Sierra Leone Project and facilitated three publications. He would drill me every poster presentation and made sure I was able to explain everything in the simplest way possible (which is not easy) so that any and everyone could understand. Because of his mentoring, I won a poster award at ABRCMS and I also received an honorary second place award through MARC/RISE for Scholarship Day. Presentations are VERY important in graduate school because it is necessary to be able to relay your research. As a transfer student, I don't think I would have found that type of support and encouragement anywhere else.
How has WSSU made a difference in your life?
"I came to WSSU as a transfer student. I walked away from a full scholarship and WSSU offered to support me for the remainder of my degree (shout out to the admissions department!). It provided a healthy environment to continue my education, conduct research and continue to explore my musical interests."

WSSU has made a huge difference in my life. Getting involved in different organizations such as Greek Life, Housing and Resident Life and Student Government Association has taught me to believe in myself. Getting involved in campus life has developed my communication and social skills. It has taught me how important your personal brand is and taught me the importance of networking and getting out of my comfort zone. If I did not have individuals at this this institution to push and help motivate me, I would have never revealed my full potential. And for that I am proud to be an alum of the Winston Salem State University!
