As we end another year, we look back on the impact of our research and educational enterprise. Our department continued serving students and alumni, continued hiring, and continued growing. We started a renovation of our building, to build a new server room in the basement that can host more high-end AI computers, while at the same time creating more space for students, faculty and staff. In cooperation with the Halıcıoğlu Data Science Institute, we are making preparations for a new AI major to launch in Fall 2025. As we continue to shape the future of computing, we look forward to an exciting new year ahead.
