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.
