Spring BBQ is in just one day!

We hope to see you at the event! 🙂

Just a friendly reminder that applications for the Big/Littles program close TONIGHT (March 13th) at 11:59PM. Please read the form carefully and answer the questions as best you can!
If you are new admits, please sign up to be a little! We have fantastic bigs who are excited to welcome you into the CSE community and answer questions you may have throughout the quarter. A spot as a little in this program is restricted to new admits in their first quarter so take advantage of this opportunity to meet more students in the CSE community. 🙂
Littles sign up here!
Remember, bigs must have been in CSE for at least two quarters AND have completed the CSE 311 class. This is just to ensure that our bigs are well prepared for questions that the new admits may have for them. If you don’t meet these requirements this quarter, we encourage you to sign up as bigs for fall quarter as we will be needing a large number of bigs to help mentor the fall quarter admits.
Bigs sign up here!
Hello everyone!
We are continuing our ACM Big Little Program and are looking for volunteers to act as mentors for our new Spring 2019 Admits!
Who can be a Big?
If you have been a Allen School student for at least 2 quarters (including Winter 2019) and have already taken CSE 311, you are eligible to be a Big. Specifically, we are looking for anyone excited to meet and guide new students in the CSE major. Depending on the number of participants, the number of Littles you have will vary but we had a 1:1 or 1:2 ratio of Bigs to Littles in the past!
If you were a Big previously, you are more than welcome to sign up again!
Why be a Big?
As our program begins to expand, the amount of students who are new to the Allen School (or in some cases, to UW) is increasing drastically. We want to ensure that our Allen School community continues to be a supportive environment despite the growth in student numbers. Being a Big is a great way to connect with new CSE students. We hope to match you with students that have similar backgrounds, interests or pathways to you to ease their transition into the Allen School.
Time Commitment
We expect Bigs and Littles to meet up on their own time to get coffee/boba, study, or eat dinner a couple of times throughout the quarter.
Additionally, ACM will host a variety of events specifically for Bigs and Littles. As we understand people may have time conflicts, they will not be mandatory – only highly encouraged!
To volunteer, please submit this volunteer form by Wednesday, March 13th at 11:59PM.
Thanks for all your help!
ACM
Hello Allen School Students,
The ACM team is excited to announce that Snack Overflow 2.0 is coming tomorrow! We will have an opening event at 1:00pm tomorrow to showcase the new system!
Snack Overflow has had a couple of issues in the past. The check-out system was confusing to use and has periodically crashed. We also had issues with students accumulating too much debt, which means we didn’t have enough money for the following order. Snack Overflow is a student run store. It is not funded by the Allen School, and we depend on the honor system to keep going. We hope that this new system will solve our previous issues and keep Snack Overflow consistently stocked!
We’re going cashless
We are using a new checkout system (Square) that will accept all major credit and debit cards.
New self-checkout system
We’re replacing the old PC with a tablet. Please remember that this is an honor-based system and we rely on you paying for the snacks you take to keep SO stocked! Also, please respect the tablet and avoid damaging it (spills/scratches/drops) as we won’t be replacing it and may have to discontinue SO.
No more debt
We will phase out the Snack Overflow account system. You will not be able to add money to your account and/or accumulate debt with this new system. Instead, just pay as you go. If you have an existing Snack Overflow account with a balance, look for a separate email about your refund (or payment).
Bigger snacks
Since the new Square system requires a $1 minimum purchase, we will be upgrading some of our existing products (example: switching from soda cans to bottles) and also offer bundling options.
If you have any comments or suggestions for Snack Overflow, feel free to email us at acm-officers@cs.washington.edu
