Since its founding 20 years ago, Cornell’s Computer and Information Science has grown to be a powerhouse in technology education. Its freshmen enrollment size has grown nearly five fold since 2011, from 253 to over 1100 in 2019, and the program itself was ranked 14th globally by Time Higher Education.
Twenty years after Cornell launched an interdisciplinary Computing and Information Science unit to “mold the next generation of tech innovators and thought leaders,” some of those leaders will return to Ithaca to share their vision for the next 20 years — just a few days before Homecoming weekend.
The current Department of Biological Statistics and Computational Biology will be split into a separate computational biology department along with a new statistics and data science in the 2019-20 academic year.
The workshop, Software Defined Network Interface, aims to increase the number of underrepresented minority Ph.D. students in computer science.
