Ten Computer Science alumnae mingled with some of the current Computer Science undergraduates at a reception in the Science and Mathematics Building on November 7.
Employers among the attendees included SAS, the Federal Judiciary, Wake County Government, the NC Community College System and Intuit (the makers of TurboTax). It was great to see the successes of our graduates and to have them share across the years with each other and our current students.
