Faculty, staff, students and alumni gathered May 31 to pay tribute to Mark Stehlik, outgoing assistant dean for undergraduate education for the School of Computer Science.

A party in Stehlik's honor was held in the Collaborative Commons of the Gates and Hillman Centers. About 200 people attended.

During impromptu remarks May 31, Stehlik thanked his colleagues and his students:
Stehlik, who has taught computer science at the Pittsburgh campus since 1982 and served as assistant dean since 1988, is stepping down this summer to begin a five-year appointment as associate dean for education at Carnegie Mellon Qatar.

Tom Cortina, associate teaching professor, will assume the duties of SCS assistant dean and is working with Stehlik on the transition.

Stehlik was this year's recipient of the Doherty Award for Sustained Contributions to Excellence in Education, and is a past winner of the Herbert A. Simon Award for Teaching Excellence in Computer Science.

On May 31, David Kosbie, assistant teaching professor of computer science and this year's recipient of the Simon Award, talked about how his teaching methods were patterned after those of Stehlik:
