Welcome to the website of the Computer Science Department at Indiana
University Bloomington. The Computer Science Department is one of
three principal Department-like entities in the School of
Informatics, which includes in addition the Department of Informatics
at IU Bloomington and the IUPUI School of Informatics in
Indianapolis. In July of 2007, Mike Dunn, the founding Dean of the
School, retired, and was succeeded by Bobby Schnabel. We look
forward to further developing the strengths of our Department under
the new Dean's leadership and to combining the many diverse research
areas represented across the entire School to enhance and expand the
opportunities for undergraduate and graduate education in Computer
Science. Computer Science is a rapidly evolving discipline, and in
the coming years an exciting diversity of opportunities will become
available for highly-trained computer scientists.
--Andrew Hanson, Department Chair

Craig Shue
and
Andrew Kalafut
and faculty member
Minaxi Gupta
was highlighted in a July 2008
Washington Post Story by Brian Krebs.
and an August 2008
report by Indianapolis NBC affiliate WTHR.

Bring IT On! Receives Grant:
An IU-based program aimed at encouraging young people to pursue careers in computer technology will receive
a boon from a new grant.
"Bring IT On!" is a national initiative designed to expand
the impact of Just Be,
a local K-12 outreach program created by the
Women in Computing group at
Indiana University.
Suzanne Menzel, a senior lecturer in the CS department,
describes the program as a "road show" which visits high schools with a presentation
designed to attract girls and minorities to computer technology-related fields by dispelling popular myths
about those fields. She received a $5000 grant to
support her work from the Avon Hello Tomorrow Fund.
