Dear CSE Colleagues, It’s sunny and warm in Atlanta today after what felt like weeks of cold rain, and it’s starting to seem like spring might actually arrive soon. That means the 2021 CSE Virtual Annual Meeting is right around the corner, and I could not be more excited about what the Program Committee, led […]

Dear CSE Colleagues, Many of us have been anticipating this new year for so long that it is hard to believe it is finally here. We are weary from uncertainty, worry, anger, and loss. And, unfortunately, this year did not get off to the auspicious start many of us might have hoped. Instead, we find […]
