November 15-17 at Alderbrook Lodge. This retreat will be focused on taking the information gathered at the two faculty and industry events last year to develop a draft core curriculum for the BS in Computer Science that would be made available to any college
that wishes to adopt all or part of it as they move forward with their own program development.

<b>Please respond to <a href="https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/DW7VC9G">this survey</a> to register the faculty member that you would like to attend by Friday, October 6.</b>
<i>After October 6, we will open registration on a space available basis to additional faculty members or administrators who have been closely connected to this work who are interested in attending.
