Student Of The Month - October 2000
Stephen Gituku
Brought to us straight from the great country of Kenya, Stephen
has been an outstanding influence to me and the Computer Science
department. I have worked with Stephen many times. For example, we
have been partners on many projects for many classes, and we worked
together on the CSIDC 2000 project last year. We worked together at
the Office of Admissions as systems analysts.
Also, Stephen has helped me create the Butler University student
chapter of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) where he
is the Vice-president. He has taught me a great deal about African
culture as well. I could not imagine majoring in Computer Science
without working with Stephen in some aspect.
His hard work and determination makes him a great candidate for
student of the month. In addition, I am proud to call him a
colleague and friend. Congrats Stephen!

Over the years, I have had several classes with Stephen and
admired his consistent determination to get work done. I really saw
this last spring when he helped out with the MAA Scavenger Hunt.
Though the other teams had finished, the team he was escorting
still wanted to finish, and Stephen was right there with them,
rooting them on. He's proud of that team, and I don't think anyone
can disagree with that.

I've had Stephen in a number of courses over the last few years,
and he always does a solid job and works hard. I can rely on
Stephen and Jeremy to visit my office several times a couple days
before an assignment is due. Stephen participated in the CSIDC 2000
competition last year, and his team put in a huge effort to get
their project working on time. Keep up the good work!
