Tl; dr We’ve put up some posters in the CSE2 undergraduate commons for you to stick dots on if you relate to the prompt. There’s also a poster for you to be vulnerable and share a story of failure if you wish. Your input counts, and it could help your peers. It’s anonymous, so go do it!
You’ve probably heard multiple times that failure is a great opportunity and it isn’t something to be afraid or ashamed of. However, CSE has developed a culture of being extremely ambitious, and handling failure among a community of such high-performing peers is particularly difficult. Our high-achieving community can lead to lots of us feeling inadequate and that we don’t belong here. Often in CSE we overhear people talking about their accomplishments, but rarely do we talk about our experiences with failure (and, shocking as it may be, every single one of us has failed at some point). Come break the ice, be vulnerable, and help your peers by showing your fellow CSE classmates that we are not a community of ultra-perfect beings and that we are, in fact, human.
Stay tuned for our upcoming failure and vulnerability panel discussion!

Hello Allen School! Today is
National Coming Out day, a
day to celebrate lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and queer (LGBTQ) awareness! We’re celebrating an exciting year at the Allen School for LGBTQ+ students:
- We had our first LGBTQ+ breakfast during grad visit days
- We started Q++, a mostly undergrad/5th yeah master focused student organization to build community (starting with an ice-cream social in the spring). LGBTQ community members can sign up for Q++ mailing list here: http://tinyurl.com/allen-qpp
- We sent students to the Tapia Celebration of Diversity in Computing, which included sessions on LGBTQ individuals
- We started regular LGBTQ grad meetups (if you’re interested, join the #lgbtq slack channel)
- Other cool stuff that we’re currently forgetting!
To celebrate with us, come to the Atrium, we have rainbow cupcakes*! You can also come ask us about other Allen School LGBTQ events throughout the year, ask about our #lgbtq slack channel, or simply come say hi!
While we celebrate this
day of
coming out, we acknowledge that there are many ways for LGBTQ individuals to exist,
with or without being out.
This article nicely touches upon why NCOD should be taken with a grain of salt!
Cheers,
Maarten (on behalf of the Diversity Committee)

I’m a CSE undergrad and I’m bringing people together to create an Allen School organization for LGBTQ+ identifying members of the community. Our organization is called Q++ and we’re holding an info session and discussion next Tuesday, May 29th, at 1:30 with catered lunch for those who RSVP! We want to share what what we are planning to accomplish with Q++, and would love to hear your thoughts and feedback.
Feel free to contact me through my CSE email if you have any questions!

A little background from the team:
We’re a 70-person team of UW Engineers, designing, building, and competing with formula style race cars. We’ve been around for 28 years now, and take pride in our history of racing. In years past, we’ve built two cars, one combustion and one electric.
Next year is a first – we’re building one car, and it will be an electric vehicle! As such, we’re looking to branch out further into the programming/electrical side of engineering at UW. We’ve had some tremendous members from the CSE department in years past, and are looking to keep the trend going! Technical projects involving CSE students include: torque-vectoring algorithms, traction control programming, vehicle ECU design, and electrical power system development.
