CS Majors Co-Develop Web Applications for Speech-Language Pathology Program Website
Amanda Piantanida (Class of 2025) and Francesco Musto (2025) worked with Dr. Mark Russo and students and faculty in the Department of Special Education, Language, and Literacy; and Department of Design and Creative Technology this past fall to build two web applications. One application is used for simulating different levels of hearing loss, and a second is used for understanding speech reading. Both applications are now embedded on the Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology website.
Amanda also created an Open Education Resources (OER) Wiki that is featured on the Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning’s web page.

Call for CS Student News
Over the course of the semester, Ms. Zsilavetz will be updating the CS Department white board (near the CS Office) with information about our students’ offers of employment, acceptances to graduate schools, accepted internship and summer REU opportunities, or publications. This is one way that the CS Department likes to celebrate our students’ achievements each spring semester. We encourage you to watch as the boards populate over the next few weeks and to email Ms. Zsilavetz (zsilave2@tcnj.edu) with any news that you would like us to share on the board.
