http://www.cs.washington.edu/education/courses/cse390l/11sp/
The basic idea:
– Meets weekly for an hour
– Brings brings CSE alumni and friends to campus to describe how to be effective in a startup, small company, large company, or less common environment. Guests will discuss topics such as:
How do you position yourself to work on interesting projects?
In a large company, what strategies can make you influential, vs. a cog in a wheel?
What is life like in a startup?
If your goal is to start and grow your own company, where do you begin?
What are the pros and cons of less common career options, such as teaching high school computer science?

Hi All,

2.) RIM Tech Talk
When: Wed, February 16, 6:00pm – 7:30pm
Where: CSE Atrium
Description: RIM is a dynamic mobile company, come find out what they have to say about their latest technologies and joining the team!!! It should be fun!
NOTE: As a gentle reminder, Company info sessions and tech talks exist as a benefit to the students and companies involved. It is extremely disrespectful to the Company Presenters, ACM Officers, and CSE Department to “dine and dash”, that is get food and leave the talk shortly or immediately without staying to get something out of event. This makes the department look bad to the company and can negatively influence the willingness of the company to come back next quarter or next year. We will be watching out for this in the future!
3.) ACM Winterfest!
When: Fri, February 18th, 6:00pm-9:00pm.
Where: CSE Atrium
Cost: Free for ACM members, $6 for everyone else
What better way to start off the long Weekend! There will be food, drinks, boardgames, music, dancing, Kinnects, and Fun! We will also be selling more T-Shirts. Yahoo is the sponsor for the event. Also, Winterfest requires lots of set up and take down effort, if you are interested in helping out your help would be greatly appreciated. If you are interested contact an ACM officer or show up 30-45 before the event starts or at the end to give us a hand.
Have a great week,
ACM Officers
