Seconding everything said by those here already about CCIS. Doreen Hodgkin is an amazing part of the college. She’s someone that makes the effort to reach out and talk to every student, and is willing to help with the small things or go to bat for you on a big issue. She also has been incredibly supportive of getting more women involved in CS by being welcoming to them and creating events, clubs, and other spaces to do that. One of my best friends works with her regularly on those areas.
As far as teaching goes, I have TA’d or tutored for 3 semesters now, and am incredibly proud of it because of how much you can really help students, and how much the professors care. Some of our best professors actually prefer to teach the intro course over upper division electives or research, and even some of the research is going into how to teach introductory programming. The professor that recently was awarded the CCIS teaching award is currently in the middle of trying to develop an even better teaching language, and students can even get involved in helping with that.

I link to this tirelessly because it really does say the most about the program, but here’s an essay by the creator of the current curriculum. He will be teaching the introductory course for the second Fall in a row, to give you an idea of how involved he is himself, in addition to teaching software development semi-regularly.

I think most here have seen that now, so most of this is likely more relevant to @durna01
