CEL60 Highlight Video from Scott Leiserson on Vimeo.

Charles E. Leiserson, who has been an incredible mentor, friend, and colleague to many of us, turned 60 last November. We wanted to help him celebrate, so on November 10th, 2013 (his actual birthday), we hosted a symposium and a birthday dinner party. This webpage documents the event and archive the fun activities that we enjoyed throughout the day — you can find pictures (link to Photo page) and videos that capture the symposium talks, the gift unveiling, guest speeches during the dinner party, magic show, and more (link to Dinner page). The event schedule can be found here. Also, Patricia Sampson wrote a really nice articles reporting on the event for the EECS annual newsletter (The Connector), which can be found here (link to the Connector). We would like to thank everyone (link to Acknowledgment) who made this event a success, including our generous sponsors, the organizing committee, the videographers, the photographers, and everyone who contributed to the gift
