Summer is here and bursting with summer camps, courses, vacations and plans to welcome everyone, including new Computer Science faculty and staff (see more below), to the new academic year, one that will be exciting and full as we celebrate our Centennial. Of note we will host a Fenn100 Kickoff event during the “Week of Welcome” for all Engineering students, faculty and staff in the Green Space. We will have plenty of food, fun, games, prizes, and swag. Come meet old friends and make new ones. Overall, our plans to celebrate our Centennial Anniversary are going great. The website is now live and interactive with our history and upcoming events. Visit csuohio.edu/fenn100 to stay engaged. For our alumni, we want to know your story. A special page will highlight your journey and success. Be sure to complete the form on the site. We’ll also launch our centennial lecture series September 26. Stay connected and visit our website and social channels to learn how you can be involved.
