Tan Le was awesome! As we knew she would be! We had over 400 in the audience, including Dr. Arlan DeKock, the professor emeritus. Audience comments following the event were extremely favorable. Thanks for helping us make it a BIG and memorable day — a most fitting kickoff to the next half-century of Computer Science at Missouri University of Science and Technology.
