Undergraduate Research News:

Last summer, Dr. Christian Trefftz and two Grand Valley undergraduate students worked at U.S. Department of Energy national laboratories with research teams that are operating supercomputers, while Dr. Michelle Dowling worked remotely with the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory under its visiting faculty program, and solidified a partnership for future DOE collaborations.

Second Admission:

As we near the end of the semester, it is time to start thinking about applying for secondary admission. Please remember to submit your application AFTER final grades have been posted.

Due to the University closure dates this year, the School of Computing will not be able to process any applications until Wednesday, Jan. 4, 2023. Please know we will be processing them as quickly as possible when we return, to ensure you are able to register for classes for the Winter '23 semester.

For more information on secondary admission requirements, and how to apply, please visit our website.

CIS 378 is a new 3 credit elective called Applied Machine Learning. While you are registering and getting ready for the Winter 2023 semester, consider adding this to your schedule. There are still spots open.

Student Survey:

Dear Computing Student,

I am examining students struggles with learning Unified Modeling Language Class Diagrams (UML). To better understand these struggles I would like to hear first-hand from computing students. I greatly value your feedback.

There are no direct benefits to you, nor are there any detriments should you choose or not choose to take this survey. It should take very little of your time – maybe 5 to 10 minutes – to complete. I am interested in students from all class standings, so it doesn’t matter if you are a freshman, sophomore, junior, senior, or graduate student.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions you might have. My email address is woodriir@gvsu.edu. The link to the survey is
