Students to speak about sheriff's dispatch system

At 4:10pm on Thursday, November 20, in MCReynolds 315, computer science students Eric Robbins and Justin Whorton will speak about their Odyssey service project. They developed and installed a software system for the Perry County Sheriff's Department. The county realized that the previous paper-based system was inadequate, but a commercial dispatch system was too expensive and wouldn't suit the department's needs. Perry County's customized program for tracking calls and dispatching law enforcement officers now benefits the entire community. 17 Nov 2008

Derek Leonard and Lars Seme join our faculty

Our computer science program welcomes Derek Leonard, its newest faculty member. Prof. Leonard is a Hendrix alum (class of 2002) and has nearly completed his Ph.D. from Texas A&M University, where he is working on a dissertation on Internet measurement. Students may also encounter his wife, a professor for the Business & Economics department (and also a Hendrix alum). Prof. Leonard is helping us while Dr. Dwayne Collins and Dr. Gabe Ferrer take their sabbaticals over the next two years.

Also, we welcome Lars Seme back to our mathematics faculty this year. Prof. Seme is also a Hendrix alum (class of 1995) and has his Master's degree in mathematics from the University of Missouri - Rolla (now the Missouri University of Science Technology). He taught at Hendrix full-time from 1997 to 2001, and he has taught scattered courses since then. We are pleased to welcome back to a full-time position for this year. 11 Aug 2008
