Tenth Annual CSE Poster Workshop: excellent research on display

The 2006 CSE Poster Workshop took place on Friday, April 21. Forty-four groups of student researchers displayed their posters in the third floor hallways of the Engineering Building and explained their work as part of a ten-year tradition that promotes recognition of student research.

The first annual graduate student poster workshop was held on March 29, 1996 under chairperson Anil K. Jain. A decade later, the workshop has expanded to include undergraduate research projects, but the event is still a team effort that brings together alumni, friends, faculty, staff, and students in an informative session that celebrates the excellence of our students’ research.

The CSE Strategic Partner’s Council and Chairperson Laura Dillon provided prizes, which included software; Motorola, SAIC, and Crowe Chizek merchandise; a PDA; and gift certificates to the MSU bookstore. Students and faculty laughed and cheered while awards were presented by Associate Chair George Stockman, who emphasized the hard work students put into their projects and the longevity of the posters that will adorn the halls for all to view over the next year.
