A term study abroad in Italy
From: Orlando Baiocchi
Date: 4/14/2014 5:21:41 PM
To: uwtechallfaculty@uw.edu; Beth Jeffrey; David Ross; Kimberly Mucke
Subject: Summer course in Italy
Colleagues:
I am asking your help to recruit Institute students for our summer course in Rome. It is a joint venture with Global Honors and IAS/Communications and we need a few more students to make it happen. You can find the details at:
http://www.tacoma.uw.edu/
international-programs/italy- technology-society-global- perspective
If you find useful, I can also come to your class during my “free” time. Just let me know.
Here is what one CSS student – who is already accepted in the program – wrote in his application:
“The Institute of Technology does not offer many study abroad programs. As a Computer Science major in the Institute of Technology, the Italy:Technology & Society will allow me the opportunity to explore the international job market in the field of technology. Studying abroad will open more possibilities for me to gain employment after I graduate. This program will give me an outside perspective of technology and help me understand how valuable this field is from a global perspective by exploring the technological relationship between the United States and other countries.”
I think his argument is both valid and sound, regardless of how you arrange the premises and the conclusion. If you agree, please share it with your students.
Many thanks.

The Chicago Center for the Theory of Computing and Allied Areas,
an alliance of the University of Chicago and the Toyota Technological
Institute at Chicago, is now accepting applications to its
2014 summer REU in the Theory of Computing and Machine Learning.
The program starts on June 23, 2014 and runs 6-10 weeks depending on
an agreement between each student participant and their faculty mentor.
For details, including support and application instructions, please
consult the program website
http://theorycenter.cs.
Deadline for applications: April 20.
If you plan to graduate in spring, make sure you’ve filed the paperwork.
All students must file a graduation application by the 3rd Friday (April 18th for spring) of the quarter they wish to graduate. You can file up to three quarters in advance (i.e. through Winter 2015 right now). You will receive graduating senior priority registration (you get to register first) for your last two quarters, but once you’ve used it, you’re done, even if you extend graduation.
If you plan to graduate this spring, you should check your MyCSE page first to see if you have filed or not, there should be a “graduation status” date in the upper right hand corner when you first log in.
If you don’t see a graduation status message, sent me an email (ceney@cs) for me to check to see if we just missed you in our database.
For fall 2014 or winter 2015 graduates, if you apply to graduate by May 5th, you’ll receive graduating senior priority registration for your last two quarters. Please follow the steps closely on Applying for Graduation.
CSE Advisors hosting appointments for graduation will be: Crystal, Raven, and Jen. Email individually, or to everyone at ugrad-advisor@ for an appt, or just come to dropins.
