If you find any features that are broken (besides the fact that the mirror team is still working on getting mirror back up) please let us know of that also. If the page does not appear properly, if you could describe the situation and possibly even send a screenshot it would be much appreciated. Please direct correspondence to the COSI mailing list.

In particular, we would like to give our most grateful thanks to:

The George I. Alden Trust
and
Rechler Family Foundation
(Bennett L. ‘70 and Bonnie Rechler)

for financing the renovation of the laboratory space.

IBM Corporation

for the donation of an x-Series Blade Center chassis,
ten blade servers, various components, RAID controllers,
and over 8 terabytes of hard drive space.

At COSI, students and professors work together on innovative research projects and develop incomparable professional and social skills. Whether new to technology or a veteran, a computer scientist or a member of another discipline, COSI is the perfect refuge to stand on the shoulders of giants and both learn from and contribute to the knowledge base we maintain.

We provide a constructive environment where students and professors can each benefit from the combined expertise of our members, discuss important problems in technology and propose solutions, improve their own abilities, ask for homework help, and simply enjoy a coffee or tea and lightly discuss philosophy for a quick break from the perils of their freshman physics class.

We are the Clarkson Open Source Institute–where class meets with service, students with professors, and experience with credit. With unparalleled achievement, its no wonder why COSI members are considered by several top employers as members of the most employable students, bar none.

We are where today’s innovation succeeds in tomorrow’s industry, and we have the award, employment, and internship track record to prove it!

The schedule of events for the day is as follows:
1pm-3pm @ COSI/ITL/VR lab: Board of Trustees and alums come for a ceremony (plaque for donors), tour labs, talk to students, see demos.

3:30pm-5pm @ COSI/ITL/VR lab: LAN games - Alums vs current students at Defcon!

5:30pm-6:30pm: Chinese Buffet (new Mongolian grill).

7pm-10pm @ Adirondack Lodge: Hang out, tell stories, play games, watch a movie

Over the summer, the Applied Computer Science labs (COSI, ITL, and VRL) were renovated. (Pictures of the labs before the renovations can be found in the workday galleries from last year.) The labs were gutted, completely redone, and then everything was re-organized and put into place. The Rechler Foundation granted the budget for the renovations.

We would also like to thank IBM and the Clarkson Alumni for visiting and sharing their experiences and project ideas.
