Undergraduate Research

CS Majors Present Results of Summer Research

Stu Bachner ('06) and Rosemary Dutka ('06)  both presented the results of their respective student research teams at two separate conferences this past fall. At the 10th annual Consortium for Computing Science Midwest Meeting, held September 23-24, 2005 at Millikin University Stu presented the poster Designing Effective Algorithm Visualizations (see a related story), while Rosemary presented a poster entitled A Teaching and Learning Tool for Visualizing Memory Use while Executing Java Programs. Then both students gave presentations on their work at the 16th Annual Argonne Symposium for Undergraduates in Science, Engineering and Mathematics, which was held at the Argonne National Laboratory outside of Chicago on November 4-5, 2005.  These projects were supervised by Dr. Myles McNally and Dr. John Hawley respectively.

 

Alma College is one of the first undergraduate colleges in the United States to belong to the International Criminal Court Student Network (ICCSN). Created in 2006 by students at the London School of Economics, the ICCSN aims to promote the work of the ICC and increase knowledge of international criminal law. Alma joins Duke University School of Law, the University of Cambridge and other institutions in a global community that connects students who share an interest in the ICC.

Alex Hegedus

Alex Hegedus
Graduation: 2014
Major: Computer Science and Mathematics

Want to be a world traveler? A mathematic researcher? An Ultimate Frisbee player? A fraternity brother? At Alma College, Jackson junior Alex Hegedus doesn’t have to choose among his interests.

“You are able to do so many different things at Alma,” he says. “Friends at bigger universities say they have to pick one extracurricular and stick to that, so if I wanted to play Frisbee, I could only play Frisbee. But here it’s possible to make friends in so many different areas and be involved in so much.”
