"We are thrilled to offer our summer camps again this year," said Seymour Wolfson, interim chair of the Department of Computer Science. "Our camps allow area youth to gain a better understanding of the types of fields one can pursue with a computer science degree. There is such great opportunity in this field of study, and it is important that we do our part to educate the next generation of all the possibilities out there."
