CSE professor emeritus Marvin L. Stein is a recipient of the President's Award for Outstanding Service.

The award is presented each year in the spring and recognizes exceptional service to the University, its schools, colleges, departments, and service units by any active or retired faculty or staff member. Recipients of this award have gone well beyond their regular duties and have demonstrated an unusual commitment to the University community.

After an increase in computer usage in the early 1960s, Stein and a group of faculty members noticed the need for new areas of computational research not covered in mathematics. Dr. Stein founded the Department of Computer Science and he served as acting department head until the fall of 1971. Stein continued on as a Professor until 1997, when he retired and became Professor Emeritus.
