Hendrix Programming Team

I am currently the faculty sponsor for the Hendrix programming team, which typically competes in the ACM ICPC (in the Mid-Central USA region), the CCSC Mid-South programming contest, and a local contest sponsored by Acxiom. Teams from Hendrix have won first place in the CCSC Mid-South contest the last three years in a row.

For the spring 2017 semester, we hold a weekly practice every Wednesday from 4-5:30pm, in the Linux lab (MC Reynolds 3rd floor). All are welcome!
