Your Friendly ACM Officers

Ed Lazowska asked us to tell you all:

Thanks for the GREAT turnout at the recruiting day on Wednesday afternoon.  The 20 Affiliate companies were really thrilled with the quality and quantity of students.

CS Ugrads,

As you go through the career fair today, be aware that companies will be handing out invitations to the ACMW-hosted dinner at 6:30. If you receive an invitation from a company, congratulations! You have just won yourself the opportunity to casually talk to several companies at the dinner.

Please only accept the invitation if you are planning to attend the dinner, and be respectful to other students by only taking one invitation. Hope to see many of you tonight!

Thanks,
ACMW
