A one-credit (CR/NC) seminar series
Intent
The Paul G. Allen School Leadership Seminar Series, CSE 390L, is a one-credit (CR/NC) seminar series, primarily targeted at upper-division CSE undergraduates, that brings CSE alumni and friends to campus to describe how to be effective in a startup, small company, large company, or less common environment. Our guests will discuss topics such as:
- What do you need to know in order to succeed, that you don’t learn in your classes or during an internship?
- How do you position yourself to work on interesting projects?
- In a large company, what strategies can make you influential, vs. a cog in a wheel?
- What is life like in a startup?
- If your goal is to start and grow your own company, where do you begin?
- What are the pros and cons of less common career options, such as teaching high school computer science?
- Why might you choose graduate school vs. tech industry employment after graduation?
These should be great, informative, interactive sessions. This seminar has been very well received during its past offerings (2011-2019). But it’s up to you – you need to make it interactive!
Course requirements
Regular attendance, active participation. (Attendance will be taken periodically.) Please read up on the individual and his/her employer(s) in advance of each course session. Think of our guests as “postcards from your future.” Come to class prepared to take advantage of these alums.

We are still slotting in speakers. But take a look at the lineups from the 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012, and 2011 offerings.
