In Remembrance

The success of the School of Computing was built on the concerted efforts and dedication of our faculty and staff, students and alumni. Many of our faculty and staff have been with us for a good number of years.

We pay tribute to our colleagues who have since passed on, and remember their contributions to the School during their time with us.
