Department Level

Cooperative Education/Internship Representative, since 1991
The Department of Computer Science typically contributes one of the largest body of students (excepting Engineering) to the Coop/Internship Program at the University of Calgary. Managing the large number of applicants is a significant effort, and much time has been spent defining and streamlining both the administrative and academic components of the program.
Chair of the Ethics Committee, since 1997
I formed this committee and laid out the guidelines for studies involving human subjects, in accordance with university prototocols.
Member of Appointments Selection Committee (1997-1999)
This committee is responsible for new faculty appointments.
Member of Strategic Committee (1999)
This committee is responsible for planning and setting strategic directions to influence the major department expansion.
Member of the "Increment" Committee
This three-person team reviewed year end reports by Department faculty and recommended increments.
Member of the Heads Advisory Committee (1995-1996)
This group advises the head of department on both short and long term issues.
Member of the Computer Resources Uses and Development Committee, 1998, 1994
Computing resources are especially important to the Department of Computer Science. This committee, which met for the first time in summer '93, is responsible for overseeing the use and development of computing resources.
Target '92 and '98 Representative
All the computer science departments in Western Canada host the Target Program, whose purpose is to attract high caliber Canadian students to the graduate programs of western universities. The top 2 undergraduates from each Canadian University are invited to attend the program, held that year in Saskatoon and Regina. I prepared and presented a multi-media show to the students, which was well received. A simpler in-house presentation was done in 1998.
