The Purdue Department of Computer Science dedicated the Cisco® TelePresence video conferencing room in the Lawson Computer Science Building on October 15, 2008. Cisco has provided this technology to several top research universities nationwide. "University researchers are a critical component of Cisco's innovation strategy and provide us with a direct pulse on the next wave of technology," said Doug Comer, vice president of Cisco Research and Distinguished Professor of Computer Science at Purdue.

Comer kicked off the dedication events with an overview of the TelePresence system. He and Purdue College of Science Associate Dean, George McCabe, then officially opened the Cisco TelePresence room for use in a ribbon cutting ceremony. The Cisco TelePresence dedication events included a message exchange between Cisco representatives and Purdue researchers. The 65" high-definition screen created a virtual meeting space that gave participants a feeling of being in the same room as Cisco colleagues. The $650,000 gift (including three years of networking and support costs) from Cisco breaks down the barriers of distance, and makes collaborative research more productive and inexpensive by eliminating travel restraints and costs.

Purdue took 3rd place among universities competing in the November 1st, 2008, ACM East Central North America (ECNA) Regional Programming Contest. Team "Purdue Cheburashka" finished in 4th place overall. This placement gives them a chance to travel to Stockholm, Sweden next spring to compete in the World Finals!

The ACM Programming Contest is a five hour event in which teams of three students work together to solve eight programming puzzles. Ranking among teams is based first on how many problems are solved correctly, then on how many minutes it takes to solve each problem. Programming is done in Java or C/C++.

The members of the Cheburashka team are Nathan Claus, Zhanibek Datbayev, and Arman Suleimenov. Team "Purdue Gold" consists of computer science majors Michael Bernard, John Bohlmann, and Galymzhan Uteulin.
