Subject: Phi Sigma Rho T-Shirt Fundraiser Next Week!
To:
Hello Engineering Advisers,
Phi Sigma Rho, the Engineering sorority on campus has designed a t-shirt for our engineering community and will be holding a fundraiser to raise money for Relay For Life. If you could forward our flier to your students, we would really appreciate it.
We will be tabling next Monday (May 5th) until Wednesday (May 7th) from 10:30AM-2:30PM in front of the HUB. Our shirt is only $10, with half of our proceeds going to Relay For Life!
You may have received a flier last week, but we have updated our tabling dates to next week instead of this week.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.
Thank you,
Tiffany

Hi all,
Just a reminder about this — noon tomorrow in CSE 303. We’ll provide food, but please bring your own beverage.
Thanks!!

Hi all,
Are you interested in Security? Are you currently enrolled in a CSE class that uses a textbook? We’re looking to get a group of students together to kickstart a crowdsourced security audit of the UW CSE undergraduate curriculum. We would like to get a few students involved in adding entries to our vulnerabilities wiki when they see unsafe code in their textbooks! There’s minimal extra commitment on your end, because you are (theoretically) already reading your text anyways. Security is one of the fastest growing fields in computing, and historically one of the most underserved fields in undergraduate education. So if you want to polish those hacking and cracking skills, this might be for you.
We’re going to have a meeting at noon this coming Wednesday (April 30) in CSE 303 to explain the project in more detail, and go over the vulnerability coding scheme. (We will provide food.)
Thanks!

**Volunteers still needed: CALLING ALL ENTHUSIASTIC ENGINEERS!**
Are you an upperclassman passionate about your field of engineering? Share about your major to pre-engineers at the Engineering Majors Fair (career fair style setup, but more laid-back)! See below for event and volunteering details:
Event: Engineering Majors Fair
Hosted by the UW Society of Women Engineers & UW Engineering dorm community; open to all students
Date: Tuesday, May 6, 2014
Time: 5:30 – 7pm
Location: McCarty Hall, ABC Rooms
Volunteer Sign-up [Deadline: Wed. 4/30, 11pm]: https://catalyst.uw.edu/webq/survey/swe/233576
Setup & volunteering: There will be a table set up for each engineering department, and each table must have 2-5 students at all times (volunteers may take different shifts) and at least one interesting “artifact” to show (i.e. student projects, Discovery Days displays, anything that will help illustrate what can be done in your major) at the table. Pre-engineers will be able to visit any of the tables throughout the fair.
Thank you for your support in encouraging potential future students of your field! If you have any questions, please email us at
swe@uw.edu.
Sincerely,
Monica Chinn
President | Society of Women Engineers

Just a few more days (technically one, but rumor has it maybe a couple) days left for the UW Student Experience survey. It’s really important for a nice representative sample of students to fill this out, I hope a few of you will take some type to help.
Undergrads: The UW wants to hear from you!
There’s an important student survey called the SERU underway at the UW. Participate in it and you will help improve the undergraduate experience. The Student Experience at the Research University (SERU) covers a broad range of topics, from the amount of time undergraduates spend studying to the type of research experiences they enjoy. Questions gauge the impact of college on such areas as critical thinking, academic preparation, research experiences, time management and overall satisfaction, and results will be used to improve our understanding of educational best practices at leading research universities. All degree-seeking undergraduate students who are 18 years old or older and currently enrolled at UW Seattle are eligible to participate – help us improve our academic and student-life programs and maybe win a major prize! Take the survey and learn more here: http://surveys.uw.edu/

We are still looking for shirt designs for the 2014 year! You have until Wednesday evening next week to submit a design.
- SVG/PNG are the accepted submission types
- Shirts should reflect the department rather than random memes/sayings with no other indication of UW CSE/ACM
- We reserve the right to determine which designs are acceptable
- Keep to 1 ink color, 1 shirt color.
Later we’ll have a vote and the top few designs will be sent to printing. We plan on having shirts in time for Spring BBQ.
Please submit your designs to:

You can vote once in each category from a single IP address …

A group of MBA students in UW’s Foster School of Business is conducting a survey for Amazon.com regarding perceptions of the company, to help inform the company’s “branding” to potential employees. It’s a “final project” for the MBA students.
The MBA students asked me to forward the survey to CSE students. That’s their exclusive target audience; they would like to get several hundred responses from CSE students.
The survey is *confidential*. If you provide your email address you will receive a $5 AMZN gift certificate for your trouble (whoopie ding …). Providing your email address will *not* affect the confidentiality of your survey response.
I’m not “asking you to do this” – it’s entirely up to you. But helping students in other UW programs, and helping Amazon, are both worthwhile.
Here’s the link:

FYI: if (like me) you’re having a hard time finding the poll on the page Ed linked, you may need to open the page in an ads-and-other-crap-enabled browser.
No representation without taxation!
