ACM, the Association for Computing Machinery, is an international scientific and educational organization dedicated to advancing the arts, sciences, and applications of information technology. With a world-wide membership ACM is a leading resource for computing professionals and students working in the various fields of Information Technology, and for interpreting the impact of information technology on society.

Please look at the following Department of Energy graduate student fellowship opportunity. Fellows will receive a $35,000 yearly stipend for living expenses, $10,500 per year for tuition and fees and a $5,000 research stipend supplement for research materials and travel expenses. This is a very good deal. The fellowship does require US citizenship. I strongly encourage you to apply if you are eligible.

CS students,

I believe we have some excellent teachers in the Computer Science
Department. You have a chance to honor the teaching of your
professors by nominating them for a University Teaching Award.
Over the years there have been very few Computer Science faculty
who have received these awards in large part due to very few
nominations from students. Please consider nominating a Computer
Science faculty member for this award. It only takes a few minutes
to nominate a faculty member and only students or alumni can submit

ACM has added a jobs section to the website. Feel free to look over opportunities that are available to you. Listings will be updated as the semester progresses.

Students,

I have a number of research projects that I am working on that you may be interested in for an MS project/thesis or PhD.
