You Can Support the Math/CS Department Some ways that you can support the Mathematics/Computer Science majors at PLNU: - Serve
on the Mathematics/Computer Science Associates Board of Directors. We
need alumni that have a passion for seeing the purpose of the
Associates fulfilled.
- Speak at campus seminars on topics relating to the working world of Math and Computer Science.
- Make
sure that your employer is aware of PLNU and that they participate in
the on-campus job fairs and other recruiting activities.
- Give gifts to the Mathematics/Computer Science Associates Fund to support Math/ CS departmental scholarships, www.pointloma.edu/giving
Did You Know? - The
department had six students who were paid to do undergraduate research
last summer. Two of them were out at SPAWAR as part of a joint
PLNU/SPAWAR Summer Research partnership.
- The department hosted a Southern California Undergraduate Conference in Computer Science on Saturday April 23, 2005.
Current Projects
One
current objective is to solicit contributions towards the
Mathematics/Computer Science Associates Fund to increase the number of
departmental scholarships offered to our undergraduates. We currently
have a goal of increasing our fund by $10,000 and to increase the
number of scholarships available to our undergraduates.
