A reception follows.

Cristian Borcea, PhD, an assistant professor in the department of computer science at NJIT, will discuss "Career Advice for PhD Students: How to Get the Most out of Your Time in the PhD Program" on Sept. 29, 2:30-3:30 p.m. in the Guttenberg Information Technologies Center Room 3730.

When Daniel Boston, of Pittsgrove Township, a budding computer scientist and top academic award winner, walks at NJIT’s upcoming May 17, 2008 commencement in the Prudential Center, he may ponder more than his near-perfect grade point averages or a $62,000 scholarship for ongoing doctoral studies at NJIT.

Wassim Jabi, PhD, an assistant professor in the New Jersey School of Architecture at NJIT, will lead a research team to apply the traditional studio model of teaching and learning to computing sciences. Earlier this month, the NSF announced support of the project with an 18-month, $200,000 grant.
