FYI, there is a resume review workshop starting at 3 in the atrium and going until 6. Generally there is a flood in the beginning so if you come a little later, you should be able to get in to talk with a recruiter or two about your resume.
Additionally, the SWE career fair is going on at the UW tower 1230-530 today
http://students.washington.edu/swe/EWI/aboutewi.html
And finally, there are a LOT of companies slated for the CSE internship career fair next week, so make sure you’re ready to attend that starting at 1:30 on Tuesday the 25th of January.

Subject: [cs-ugrads] Join the SecDef Team
To: cs-ugrads@cs.washington.edu
Join the UW CSE Security
Defense Team!
The UW CSE SecDef team
competes in the yearly Collegiate Cyber Defense Competition,
which focuses on using practical skills to lock down PCs in
the face of active attackers.
Short version: you get to
protect a real network from getting pwned by actual attackers
for two grueling days.
Come learn more at out
information session! Next Monday the 17th at 6 pm in room CSE
503.
More details:
The competition permits up
to eight people per team, and we’re looking to recruit several
people this year. If you use Linux at home and write shell
scripts on a daily basis, we want you. If you administer a
Windows server on the public internet and it hasn’t gotten
pwned yet (or if you have some sort of Microsoft Admin
certification), we want you. If you don’t have these things
but want to learn, we still want you.
If you have friends who are
not in the department and are interested or have some
experience, tell them to come! This is not restricted to CSE
majors only. System administration isn’t necessarily directly
related to Computer Science, but going on to a national
competition in this field is a great way to demonstrate
out-of-class interest on your resume.
Historically, we’ve won
regionals and gone on to nationals every year for the past
three years. Many of our past members have gone on to
security-related jobs at Google and elsewhere.
Send a paragraph or two
about yourself to secdef@cs.washington.edu if you would like to join.

Subject: [cs-ugrads] Change Seminar – Winter Quarter
To: Change Group <change@change.washington.edu>, dub@dub.washington.edu, cs-ugrads – Mailing List <cs-ugrads@cs.washington.edu>, cs-grads@cs.washington.edu
Happy Holidays from the Change group!
In preparation for the winter quarter, I wanted to invite you all to attend in the one credit Change Seminar on Thursdays at noon in the Paul Allen Center (Room 203).
Change (
http://change.washington.edu) is a group of faculty, students, and staff at the UW who are exploring the role of information and communication technologies (ICT) in improving the lives of underserved populations, particularly in the developing world. We are cover topics such as global health, education, micro finance, agricultural development, and general communication, and look at how technology can be used to improve each of these areas.
This winter we will be alternating between talks by invited speakers and group discussions. Those who sign up for credit may be asked to participate in leading one of the discussions (this requires very little work and can be done in groups). We are in the process of scheduling speakers, so stay tuned to our calendar (
http://is.gd/3PkTF), Twitter (
http://is.gd/3PkVk), or mailing list (
http://is.gd/3PlkS) for more information.
Please consider enrolling (CSE590C1, SLN: 12383). If you are unable to enroll, feel free to come to any of the meetings you are interested in attending! The seminar is available for all UW students and the content is designed to be widely accessible. We encourage students from all departments to enroll/attend if interested.
Please forward this message to the relevant mailing lists, and we hope to see you on Thursday January 6 at noon in Room 203 of the Paul Allen Center.
Thanks,
Nell

Lisa Dodd, an instructor at Juanita High School in Kirkland was interested in having a couple of students come share their experiences in her honors math course next Wed. Other days are possible too, Wed was just one option.
If you’re interested email me and I’ll connect you.
Additionally, if you’re headed home for the winter break and want to visit your high school, you can ask Ciara at the CSE front desk for some brochures for the undergraduate program. You can also take a look at our prospective student page for some helpful links.
We’ll be developing a more formal outreach program to put into place this spring, but I wanted to mention this for winter break in case anyone was interested.
Drop me a quick line if you decide to visit your high school so we know what areas our students our covering.

Subject: Survey participants needed!!
Dear student,
Our group is conducting a Catalyst survey for our INFO470 class that examines how students in technical majors brainstorm/generate ideas when working in group projects.
We understand that you are very busy so we appreciate your consideration in taking our survey. The survey will take less than 10 minutes of your time and participants will be entered into a raffle for a $20 Amazon gift certificate.
The survey is open until this Sunday, December 5th.
If you are interested, here is the link to take it: https://catalyst.uw.edu/webq/survey/skun/118410

Too cold to leave the building and get lunch?
Don’t worry – we ordered a huge amount of muffins this week for the coke
closet so you won’t have to leave our cozy, warm basement! You can get your
very own muffin for $1.
Eat them plain, heat them in the microwave or mix them with hot water to
make muffin soup!
PS. We want to make sure they get eaten by Thanksgiving.
<3,
Your ACM Officers
