The 13th Annual Computer Science Awards Banquet held on April 4, 2005 started off a bit shaky. Keynote speaker, Steve Tolopka, found himself stranded in Portland, Oregon, and unable to attend. Steve was chosen to be the CS Keynote Speaker for his professional accomplishments, but also for his ingenuity. Steve did a complete overhaul of his presentation and enlisted Master of Ceremony, Professor Eugene Spafford, to convey his spirit and witticisms."Life Lessons from the Quote Base of Steve Tolopka" was a hit. Over $200,000 in new awards and the continuation of existing awards were announced. The banquet attracted an audience of over 190 corporate representatives, students, faculty, staff, and parents. We would like to thank the following donors for their generous donations to our incoming freshman: Boeing Company ($12,000), Linnea Cook and Pieter Dykema ($2,000), Corporate Partner Program ($10,000), Dave and Darla Dodson ($8,000), Lockheed Martin ($2,000), Randy Reece ($3,500), Winifred Rosen ($10,000), and Steve and Jenny Zimmerly ($7,500). We would also like to congratulate all awardees and thank the donors listed below.
