These were among the more than 100 awards and accomplishments recognized at the 2014 Mathematics and Computer Science Department Academic Awards and Activity Recognition Reception. The annual event took place at the John C. Myers Convocation Center on the evening of April 8, 2014. About 70 students, friends, family members and university staff and faculty attended the event.
Morgan Mirtes is an honors student from Norwalk, Ohio, double majoring in computer science and mathematics, with a minor in Music.
