  Triangle Computer Science
Distinguished Lecturer Series

The computer science departments at Duke University, North Carolina State University, and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill have joined forces to create the Triangle Computer Science Distinguished Lecturer Series. The series, which began in the 1995-1996 academic year, has been made possible with a number of grants from the U.S. Army Research Office, rotated between the departments. The current 3-year grant has been awarded to NCSU in August 2007 and follows the 3-year grant to UNC.
