Evaluation for Herb Dershern.Chairr Computer Science
It i6 very Eood, indeed, to once again have Herb Dershernback as
chair of the conputer acience department. Herb has had a highly
successful year. Hls tLne spent at the Alr Force Acadeny whlLe
on leave allowed hin to cul] his aLready strong teaching
abilities
and develop new approaches to his work. He (along with
Mike .tipping) has published this year the secoDd editlon of his
excel.Lent textbook 1n conputer sqience, and upon his return to
Hope College he wrote and subroitted a NSF-REUgrant pxoposaf that
wil-l provide resources f,or underEraduate eludent research for thg
nexl thlee yeals (Note: I say will becauae we have reoently been
notified of the approva.Lof this grant) . At the national level
Herb was eleqted as a cUR councif Menber, wlthin the departnent
Hetb continues to provid€ strong leadership to a strong
departnent, and for Hope coflege he has "pitched in' to asEune
responsibilities
as a nenber of the Status Connittee. Alf in
all, a job very weLl done indeed!
