Channing Brown Scholarship

In 1980, Channing Brown earned a BS in computer science from the University of Illinois, followed by an MS. from Berkeley. After a 23-year career as a software engineer in the telecommunications industry, he returned to Illinois to work for NCSA in 2009. In 2010, he endowed this scholarship to support undergraduates. Brown retired in 2013 and remains actively involved with the department. He has been an exhibit judge at the Engineering Open House, mentored students in the Illinois Promise scholarship program, and served as a conversation partner for students in the Intensive English Institute.
