History

The FIREwall is an idea that was initially thought to be used as a tool for informing the college about the recent updates regarding academics, technology and facilities. The newsletter was to include event coverage for all the student organizations and have computing related entertainment. After getting a tremendous amount of support and encouragement, we are proud to present to you, the FIREwall! This newspaper shall take and give FEEDBACK about any topic of relevance in the College of Computing. It shall INFORM you about all the events in the college and REPRESENT its entire student body. Last but not the least, all this serious material will be complimented by ENTERTAINMENT in the form of whatever you want!

The journey towards making the FIREwall happen was initiated by Mansi Sharma, a third year CS major. Ajai Karthikeyan, a second year CS major, arrived next having had previous experience in journalism. Terris Johnson, a third year CM major, helped us by creating the FIREwall logo. These are only a few names that deserved a shout out. There are so many students that contributedin making this a success, which is truly heartwarming; Vinutha Prabhakar, Vicotria Au, Stephen Hilber and Chris Stuckey to name a few.

The initial push from Dean Cedric Stallworth and Beth Collums( If you don't know who she is, read her blurb in the Who's Who article) and consistent encouragement will always be remembered and appreciated. A very special thanks to Dean Tom Pilsch for his support during our low times. We would like to thank everyone at the College of Computing for its first ever student led newspaper! We appreciate all our sponsors without who the FIREwall would not have been on paper( we literally mean that).
