Welcome!

As a proud member of the Consortium for Computing Sciences in Colleges, CCSC:Central Plains holds a yearly regional meeting enabling faculty from throughout the Central Plains area to gather to learn, network, and get energized about teaching and new developments in the Computing disciplines.

If you live in the Central Plains — primarily Missouri, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, but we welcome people from everywhere — then please consider joining us at our 18th annual conference, on March 30-31, 2012, at the Ozarks Technical Community College in the historic city of Springfield, Missouri. As always, we will have a great lineup of papers, panels, tutorials, workshops and a programming contest that your students will not want to miss.
