Your fellow students took time to put together this etiquette guide for CSE Tech Talks. These are all quite reasonable requests, please read through this carefully.
Remember that you are representing CSE when you attend talks like these and we want companies to come away with a positive impression of our students being engaged and thoughtful. (Versus entitled or greedy).

Food
Food Portions Be considerate of the people towards the back of the line and don’t heap portions on your plate. Wait until there is left over food to go for seconds.
Taking food and leaving Food is for the individuals attending and engaging in the talk. If there are extras at the end of the talk, they will be brought to lab 002.
Trash Please dispose of trash in the recycling and garbage bin. Don’t leave it at your seat. If the garbage bin is full, there are plenty outside EEB 125 and around the building.
The Talk
Be respectful of the speaker Whispering can be heard quite audibly in EE 125.
Engage! Sit towards the front, ask questions, and be an active listener.
Show up early for the talk This allows us to start the talks on time and give the speakers enough time to present. If you are late, make an effort to not be distracting.
Thank the speaker and other representatives If possible, please thank the speaker and other individuals from the company. We are representatives of the CSE department and want the companies come back!
Thank you,
Your fellow students
