This will be the fourth Winter Classic appearance for a team from Morehouse College. The team this year is the full complement of six undergrad students, mostly Computer Science majors, but also a Software Engineer in the mix. Over the past few years, Morehouse has introduced an HPC class and, under the leadership of Dr. Watkins, is developing a school HPC lab. Great work!
