A new art collection is in the process of being put up in the front entryway of Reynolds, titled "Modern Pandemic". This art collection consists of prints from the Bachinski Chu Print Study Collection. The exhibit that used to reside here, titled "Interplay", has been moved to the basement for further viewing.

While we can't rush to Reynolds to see the new exhibit until we are all back together again, we have included some photos of the pieces that are currently up, courtesy of Sarah Mousseau.

The School of Computer Science would like to welcome Dr. Neil Bruce to our Faculty.
