Thanks to all of you for the phenomenal turnout for Affiliates — the
talks on Wednesday afternoon, the posters/demos on Wednesday evening,
and the job fair on Thursday.
We had more than 200 local alums join our affiliates for the
posters/demos on Wednesday evening — students from all degree
programs (bachelors, masters, professional masters, and doctorate) and
all years (I saw folks from as early as 1971 and as recent as last
year). It was a home run evening.
Today, just about EVERY recruiter said this was the best job fair they
had attended this year — far better than Berkeley’s or Stanford’s,
for example. Two reasons: First, it’s just CSE (these companies want
computer scientists and computer engineers); second, UW CSE students
really knocked their socks off.
Thanks again!!
