The department was relocated in June of 2006. After 29 years in Gilbreath Hall, the department moved into newly renovated and more spacious quarters on the top floor of the old Sherrod Library Building, now renamed as Nicks Hall. The building was gutted and extensively renovated. All faculty offices are close to each other, and there are several new labs and new classrooms in the building. Our department shares the fourth floor with the staff of the Office of Information Technology (OIT) . The College of Nursing occupies the middle two floors, and Appalachian Studies is on the ground floor. My office is in room 459. The official name of the building is Nicks Hall, after former ETSU President Roy Nicks. We enjoy the improved facilities. Our CS and IT programs have been accredited through 2012, and all three of our undergraduate programs were recently evaluated as part of the standard accreditation/reaccreditation cycle by ABET.

What is Happening? Professionally, I continue to serve as Chair of the Fellows Committee of CSAB - the Computing Sciences Accreditation Board. I am still chairing evaluation teams for the Computing Accreditation Commission of ABET, and I have been involved in accreditation of computing programs at US colleges and universities since 1986. In recent years, ABET has expanded its computing accreditation activities to international programs, and I have been fortunate to visit institutions in Dubai, Bahrain, and Saudi Arabia as part of my accreditation activities. At the July 2006 meeting of the Computing Accreditation Commission in Washington, I was honored as a *CSAB Fellow* for lifetime achievement in computing education and computing accreditation. This is the highest honor CSAB bestows, so it was a special honor given by a group of highly respected peers for whom I have the highest regard. I continue to enjoy teaching programming classes at ETSU. I typically teach the second part of our introductory Java courses as well as Data Structures and C# courses and an ASP.NET course. I also teach freshman and sophomore level honors courses for our majors.
