In November, Google\u2019s North American Developer Communities team flew Pranay Mandadapu, a UWM computer science master\u2019s degree student, to their California headquarters to take part in North America Connect. The three-day event featured talks by Google computer scientists involved in Google maps, Android development and other Google technologies and was attended by about 200 students from the U.S. and Canada, all of whom are leading Google Developers Student Groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Personnel at Google\u2019s developer communities knew of Mandadapu, an international student, because he recently started the Google Developers Student Group at UWM, a student organization for software developers who want to learn programming technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crucial to getting the student organization off the ground, Mandadapy said, was the encouragement he received from of Susan McRoy, professor, computer science and department chair, and Christine Cheng, associate professor, computer science.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI wouldn\u2019t have started the developer group without the support of faculty from computer science,\u201d he said. \u201cI strongly believe that the support I got at UWM is unique.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
