CCSC SW brings together faculty, staff, and students from academic institutions throughout the southwestern U.S. to exchange ideas and information concerning undergraduate computing curricula in smaller, primarily undergraduate, institutions.
"I would like to thank all of you for making the 2011 CCSC SW conference a success. Attendees especially enjoyed the speakers this year. Everything went smoothly as a result of each of you working on the conference throughout the year. This team is one of the best I have experienced, and I look forward to working with all of you on next year's conference."
The Conference Committee has assembled an outstanding program, including
