All current CSE Majors, if you are interested in the Combined BS/MS program, there will be an information session in the Gates Commons (Room 691) on Wednesday Dec. 1st from 330-430.
Here is a link to the program website for additional information: http://www.cs.washington.edu/education/ugrad/current/bsms/
The Faculty Advisor, Professor Ernst, and CSE advisors will be there to tell you more about the program and answer questions.
Congratulations to Joy Kim, Jeff Rasley, and Colin Scott who received honorable mentions in this year’s CRA Outstanding Undergraduate Research Award competition.
Hey Undergrads!
We’re starting a new club on the burgeoning topic of crowdsourcing, mechanical turk, video games with purpose, and generally “doing cool things with people on the internet.”
Interested? Did you know that this is the future? The coolest thing happening in tech? We’re creating the borg hive mind.
This is going to be like the Homebrew Computer Club that invented personal computing in the 70s. We’ve got a critical mass of startups, researchers, and students in Seattle doing crowdsourcing, and together we’ll discuss and invent the future every month or so.
– Meet and connect students, startups, and researchers
– Share and identify big problems and solutions
– Show off cool tricks we’ve done with people on the Internet
To come, please RSVP by tomorrow (tuesday) at 2pm. Just send me an email. We want any student interested in “doing cool things with people on the internet.” We’ll meet at 6pm in the AI lab on the sixth floor. We are sponsored by WhitePages.com, which means there will be free Jimmy Johns and drinks for you.
My name is Michael Toomim and I’m a grad student with facial hair.

The Ugrad Advisors are hosting a small information session for prospective CSE students on Thursday, 12/2 from 3:30 to 4:30 in CSE 305.

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.

Your ACM Officers

Dear Students,
We write to share an extraordinary opportunity for travel, discovery, and challenge. The 2011 Bonderman Travel Fellowship application is now available and we encourage you to consider applying. Graduate and professional students (including those in the Law and Business Schools and other graduate and professional programs), undergraduate students (of junior and senior credit standing) in the University Honors Program, and undergraduate students (of junior and senior credit standing) in UW Tacoma’s Global Honors Program in good standing are eligible for this opportunity.
David Bonderman – the donor – wishes to give students an opportunity to experience learning and growth in new and unexpected ways. Bonderman Fellows will undertake international travel on their own for eight or more months, to six or more countries in two or more major regions of the world. Through solo travel the Fellows will focus on exploration and discovery, learning about the world and themselves in it.
Up to seven graduate and seven undergraduate Bonderman Fellowships will be awarded in Spring 2011. Each Fellowship carries a $20,000 award to be used only for extended solo international travel. Fellows may not conduct research, pursue an academic project, or participate in a formal program or organization.
To learn more about this extraordinary opportunity, please attend one of the following information sessions. Due to space limitations you must register for a session at http://catalyst.uw.edu/webq/survey/bbkelly/117386

I’m sure you’ve been missing my name clogging your inbox. There hasn’t been many events lately….

This is not an ACM event (i cant guarantee free food), someone on there end might accidentally contacted the wrong department… Hence, by an invitation from Ed Lazowska and Twitter itself, we cse ugrads are invited to crash the event.
