Mark's Friends

I spent 4 years at Iowa State, and many of my friends there were computer geeks like me. Here are links to homepages that I know about, grouped by where I knew the person from. Yes, there are repeats, because some people were friends in multiple groups... Not all of these people are still at Iowa State anymore. After two years at the University of New Mexico, more and more aren't from Iowa State.

ISU Honors Program

I think this one is fairly self-explanitory. I was active in the honors program all four years at Iowa State. Some of these people are friends from the Freshman Honors Program, others are from when I led a section of FHP, the Board of Active Students in Honors (BASH) [later called Honors Student Board (HSB)], and others from trips to the National Collegiate Honors Conference (NCHC), Upper Midwest Honors Conference (UMHC), and my central committee from running UMHC in 1995.

Lorch-Russell (ISU)

This is where I lived. It's on the 5th floor of Friley Hall. It's a co-ed floor (part of the reason I stayed for 4 years), and is the group that I was involved in that was most like a family. Here are some of the Engineering/Computer Science types that lived up there with me at some point.

Alpha Phi Omega

Alpha Phi Omega is a National Service Fraternity (co-ed). I was an officer of the petitioning group that restarted the chapter at ISU after more than 15 years of being dark.

Computer Science

My BS is in CS from ISU, and I'm now working on a PhD at UNM. The following people were in classes with me, were involved in research projects with me, or are otherwise friends from the department.

The Iowa State University Cyclone Football 'Varsity' Marching Band. I spent 3 years marching my @$$ off. I had a lot of fun and met some great people, but didn't miss it as much as I thought I would.
