CSE Undergrad News

Hello, CSE students! I hope lots of you were able to attend yesterday’s financial management talk. We will offer three more workshops on general life skills this quarter:

• Social Responsibility for Tech Professionals – Wed April 19, 4:30-5:30, CSE 691
  • This discussion is intended to help you consider your goals and values, and identify ways to act on them after graduating — selecting a company or job that reflects your values, volunteer and service opportunities, and utilizing benefits provided by your employer.
• Health & Wellness Strategies – Wed April 26, 3:30-4:30, CSE 691
  • Coding should not be your entire life, and SnackOverflow should not be your only source of food. This workshop will present strategies for being a well-rounded and reasonably healthy human: balancing your exciting new tech job (or current CSE schedule) with eating, sleeping, exercising, and doing fun non-work stuff.
• Professional Communication Tips – Wed May 10, 2:30-3:30, CSE 691
  • Write and speak like a legit adult! Present your ideas with authority, avoid awkward misunderstandings, and understand nuances of professional communication.

Enjoy.  🙂

Reminder: CSE alumna Stephanie Smallman and Professor Dan Grossman have a very special presentation tomorrow about managing your finances! I highly encourage you to attend, especially if you want to do something meaningful with your future tech salary — like travel, support causes you care about, or plan for a family or your future. Stephanie and another alum gave this talk a couple years ago, and it was both practical and entertaining. 🙂
