Just the facts, ma'am......


And this coming Fall 2010 in our brand new Computer Forensics course, Comp 375, we'll have the opportunity to explore the fascinating world of finding out the facts based upon the clues left behind on computers. Guiding us to through this exciting topic will be USF Computer Science alumna and IT Director of the Will County Sheriff's Office, Jacqueline Falbo. Her work and experience in the various facets of law enforcement and technology will allow her to give her students insight into the whys and wherefore of a topic that draws instant interest.

Computer Forensics extends beyond the desktop computers and the servers. It also looks at social networking, cell phones and preservation of evidence. Ms Falbo has had training in various forensics techniques from the FBI and worked with the Sheriff’s office hi-tech lab.

If you have an interest in networking, security, or just want to expand your horizons, this class will be one not to miss!

With a little (a lot of) help from our friends.

On March 18th, Thursday afternoon, the students who attended the USF Computer Club/IEEE Branch event were introduced to the newly configured CompSci Server courtesy of USF Computer Science Alumnus & Director of USF Information Services, Tim Archer.



Tim described the servers now available and how students could VPN in to access the server resources. The servers include the firewall server, the virtualization server, the web server and the database server that was configured in the Fall database class with USF Computer Science Alumnus, Scott Walton. Tim gave everyone an opportunity to suggest what they'd like to see be part of our new configuration.

New proposed plans for the Computer Science Lab were also shown. This gives us a target to aim for as we look ahead to the future.



Cris & Ruth extend their thanks to Tim for all his work on the server room and making a new environment available to our students.
