CERIAS Students Receive Honorable Mention from CRA

Tue, December 09, 2003General

This month, the Computing Research Association announced its Outstanding
Undergraduate Awards for 2004. CONGRATULATIONS to Erika Shehan and Nina
Tang, both CERIAS undergraduate students.

CRA Announcement:

This year’s nominees were a very impressive group.  A number of them were commended for making significant contributions to more than one research project, several were authors or coauthors on multiple papers, others had made presentations at major conferences, and some had produced software artifacts that were in widespread use.  Many of our nominees had been involved in successful summer research or internship programs, many had been teaching assistants, tutors, or mentors, and a number had significant involvement in community volunteer efforts. It is quite an honor to be selected for honorable mention from this group.

A list of the winners appears below. The announcement will appear in the January 2004 issue of Computing Research News and will be posted on CRA’s website (www.cra.org).
