The School of Computer Science & Engineering (CSE) and the Animation Research Labs invite you to an information session on the Animation Production undergraduate course sequence at UW Seattle. This sequence runs from Summer 2019 (A term) through Spring 2020. The Summer courses, Story Design (2019 A Term), Mastering Facial Expressions in CG ( 2019 A Term) and Character Design for Computer Animation (2019 B Term), are highly recommended but optional.
The Animation Capstone culminates in a very professional and exciting collaboratively produced digital short film, similar in process to Disney/Pixar and DreamWorks productions. Examples of previous award winning films produced in this program will be shown and questions regarding applications and admission, etc. will be addressed. We look forward to seeing you there. Light refreshments will be served.

Subject: [cs-ugrads] Allen School Student Experience Survey
Dear Allen School students,
I am writing to urge you to participate in an Allen School student experience survey. We want to learn from students in the Allen School about their experiences in and perceptions of the environment within the School.
Why take on such a study? The study is intended to uncover actionable results and help us track our progress over time. We hope to learn specific ideas and strategies that will strengthen our community, enhance our individual and collective success, and help make this a more welcoming, inclusive place for everyone. The study will also serve as an initial benchmark, enabling us to better measure our progress in the coming years. A strong response rate will be critical in assessing how we are doing.
The University of Washington Center for Evaluation & Research for STEM Equity (CERSE) is partnering with the Allen School to conduct the survey. This year’s survey includes all current undergraduates and graduate students in the Allen School. We have put a lot of effort into the survey, and will be putting in a lot of effort to analyze the results and share those results, positive and negative, with you, but we cannot do this without your participation.
The results will be de-identified by UW CERSE before sharing with the Allen School.
Tomorrow (Wednesday) you will receive an email from UW CERSE/elitzler via Survey Monkey. Please take the survey and help us improve the Allen School.
Best,
Hank

Present your posters at the 2019 Allen School Spring Poster Fair!
Present your posters at the 2019 Allen School Spring Poster Fair!
Hello Allen School undergrads and 5th year masters students!
We are excited to announce our annual Paul G. Allen School Spring Poster Fair! All students who have participated in any capstone, project courses, or research this year are encouraged to apply to present their posters.
The Event
The 2019 Allen School undergraduate poster session will be held on Thursday, June 13th, from 3:30-5 p.m. in the Zillow Commons in the Gates Center. The poster session is open to all BS and BS/MS students who participated in a capstone course (such as 475, 481, 441, etc) or project course (such as 440 or any other 400 level project course) or research during the 2018-19 academic year.
This will be a more formal event, with high profile Allen School alumni and friends coming to view your work. Presenting students are welcome to bring family members, as it will be the day before our CSE commencement ceremony.
There is a short registration process. We encourage you to show off your work! Our goal is to present a wide range of ‘cool’ projects from multiple courses to the Allen School alumni/friends that will join us for the poster fair.
Why participate?
- There will be a prize! A panel of judges in attendance will vote on the 2019 Project of the Year. Presenters of the winning poster, in addition to all the kudos associated with being the awardees, will receive $1,000 to split among the group.
- You can have another chance to show off that project you have worked so hard on. Presenters will get to meet and talk about their projects with smart, talented friends of CSE.
The Details
- At least one member of the team must be at the poster session to represent the poster.
- At least one member of the team who will be present at the event must be enrolled as a CS, CE, or CSEM student.
- Fall 2018, Winter 2019, and Spring 2019 capstone, project courses, and research are all eligible to participate.
Registration Process (you will be notified by June 3rd if your project is chosen)
Fill out this short form: https://forms.gle/vuLWGjxHr7Vv6TH48
Applications are due by end of day on May 31st
