For the last semester, the Dept. of Computer Science has been conducting a search for a new faculty member. The department has received more than eighty applications and has selected three candidates to interview this month. Each candidate's interview is a day-long event and includes a one-and-a-half hour session for the candidate to interact with SIUE students. The first hour of this session is devoted to the candidate teaching a lecture on a topic that interests him or her. The last thirty minutes is spent in a meeting session that is closed to current CS Faculty, where students can ask the candidate questions and the candidate can learn about SIUE from a student's prospective.

We strongly encourage students to participate in these events as it gives them an opportunity to meet a future faculty member and it gives the faculty candidates a better feeling for teaching at SIUE.
