2003 Regional Conference

Fifth Annual
Consortium for Computing Sciences in Colleges
Northwestern Conference
Hosted by Central Washington University
Ellensburg, Washington
October 3 & 4, 2003
The Northwestern Regional Conference of the Consortium for Computing Sciences in Colleges is designed to promote quality computer-oriented curricula as well as effective use of computing in smaller institutions of higher learning which are typically non-research in orientation.
Because personnel at small colleges often have restricted travel budgets, the scheduling of the conference is done with consideration toward minimizing costs.
