Students in Computer Science were very busy in the spring of 2023 presenting at regional conferences, competing in programming challenges, and winning!<\/p>\n

During spring break, three UMW programming teams completed in the ACM Mid-Atlantic Regional Programming Contest on Saturday, Feb 25 at the Christopher Newport University contest site. A UMW team placed first in division II at the CNU site and 17th overall in the region. Thomas Held, Christian Jakob, and Robert Goodson solved 4 problems correctly over the 5-hour competition. The UMW teams were coached by Ian Finlayson. There were 9 division II teams at the CNU site and 42 in the region.<\/p>\n

Later in March, four UMW Computer Science students presented and more than a dozen attended the Capital Region Women in Computing Conference<\/strong>, supported by funds donated from our generous UMW Computer Science alumni. Eleanor Haas, a senior Cybersecurity major, won first place for her flash talk and Rachel Potter, a senior Digital Studies major\/Computer Science minor, and Laman Aliyeva, a freshman international student, received honorable mention for their flash talk. UMW Assistant Professor, Veena Ravishankar, is the conference co-chair, and UMW Associate Professor, Jessica Zeitz is a past co-chair and organized the UMW students who attended.<\/p>\n

Toward the end of the semester,\u00a0UMW teams participated in the American Statistical Association DataFest competition, April 14-16th.\u00a0 The American Statistical Association (ASA) DataFest is a celebration of data in which teams of undergraduates work around the clock to find and share meaning in a large, rich, and complex data set. The UMW team of Thomas Held, Eric Bae, Alip Kalikun, and Nolan Miller (below, left side) placed first for Best Statistical Method.<\/p>\n
