Good evening Dr Ghriga
With regard to the previous conversations that we have had about opening
space for a student work and study are, I'd like to outline the
following important benefits and projects that such a space will provide
the computer science students, particularly the graduate students.
1) It will give the Computer Science Department a home to stay in.
right now we are vagabonds and clearly unwelcome on campus. We wonder
the hall way and compete with the nursing students of a place to sit.
In fact, we have no place to sit, let alone to plug in a laptop to get
serious coding or development work done. In of itself, this situation
can't continue.
2) The room will give us a place to bring hardware for projects, or even
assignments. We need a place to bring equipment, and share resources,
to do graduate school assignments such as what we had in the Operating
systems class were we needed to run an experiment on multiple machines.
Once we have a space, we can get donations for machines.
3) The room will allow for us to develop our own library. We should be
able to quickly collect 100's of comp sci text books. I personally have
a library that has been donated of 100's of text book, many of them
ended up disposed of when I moved. People still bring me books at a
clip of 5 or more a month.
4) Collaboration: We need a place to collaborate. There is NO POINT in
getting a degree in Comp Sci without learning to collaborate.
5) Everyone else in the school has a place. The Pharmacy School, has a
computer lab larger than ours, a drug information center, lockers, and
snack bar. WE HAVE A HALLWAY.
6) Formation of a culture of achievement can only be created when our
students have a physical place to share.
7) Student Events: A room will gove a place to hold student events
such as a hackfest, installfest, participation in Google Challenges, to
hear lectures etc.
