Present your posters at the 2018 Allen School Spring Poster Fair!
Hello Allen School undergrads and 5th year masters students!
We are excited to announce our second 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 2018 Allen School undergraduate poster session will be held on Thursday, June 7th, from 3:30-5 p.m. in the Atrium. The poster session is open to all BS and BS/MS students who participated in a capstone course (such as 475 and 481) or project course (such as 440 or any other 400 level project course) or research during the 2017-18 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 application process. Student posters will be selected based on various factors including the quality of the abstract in the application, the likely interests of the Allen School alumni/friends visiting, and our goal to present a wide range of ‘cool’ projects from multiple courses.
Why participate?
- There will be a prize! A panel of judges in attendance will vote on the 2018 Project of the Year. Presenters of the winning poster, in addition to all the kudos associated with being the second-ever 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 to 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 2017, Winter 2018, and Spring 2018 capstone, project courses, and research are all eligible to participate.
Application Process
Fill out this short form: https://goo.gl/forms/q74k36ayR9tQIazN2
Applications are due by end of day on May 23rd
Presenters will be notified by May 30th.

Hello CSE!
You are invited to nominate students for the CSE Student Advisory Council (CSE SAC) for the 2018-2019 academic year. Nominations will be accepted online via
this Google form until
May 11th at 11:59 PM. You are more than welcome to nominate yourself and you can find position descriptions as well as a guide to the CSE SAC election process by following this
link.
Who are we?
The CSE Student Advisory Council is the collective voice for CSE undergraduate and masters students. We use research-based methods to assess and understand student needs and to collaborate with faculty and advisers on key issues such as diversity, social responsibility, and student wellness. We also host a discussion forum nearly once a month (that some of you have maybe attended). Here’s the list of all of our events from this past year:
– Share Your Stories (Fall Quarter Experiences)
– Creating Space for the Deaf Community
– The Future of CSE
– Understanding Diversity
– Student Wellness
– Calling All TAs: A TA Mixer
– Technology + Social Good
– Home Away From Home: International Student Mixer
Why you should join?
Joining the CSE Student Advisory Council is a great way to gain leadership experience and contribute to the CSE community. As our school continues to grow, we need to make sure students have a platform to speak up and share their ideas. Council members will meet many new people with many different ideas, and therefore must be highly motivated, open-minded, and approachable to others.
Sincerely,
The CSE Student Advisory Council

Study Abroad opportunity next year – Deadline to apply May 15th, two information sessions this week
Grand Challenges (GCs) are the big problems facing humanity – things like food security, clean water, and climate change. The Grand Challenge Impact Lab (GCIL) is a new UW study abroad program in Bangalore, India that empowers students to address GCs.
College of Engineering faculty member Julian Marshall (Civil Eng.) who just started the program has asked me to send you some information, and especially that the deadline for students to apply for the coming season is in about 10 days. Here is a link to info about the program plus a link to a UW news article about it.

This is a public service announcement that the Quiet Lab (022) in the basement will be moving to Sieg Hall for fall quarter 2018. This is a temporary move before we all move into our swanky new home in 2019.
We apologize for the inconvenience, but keep in mind:
- It’s an above ground room in Sieg, with windows even, so it will be much nicer than 022 in that regard.
- Very soon, in less than a year now, we’ll have moved the majority of our ugrad space into our brand new building and you’ll all be so happy you won’t remember this minor inconvenience.
Please let me know if you have any questions/concerns.

Director of Student Services

First, this week and next week are going to be very busy for Quick Questions (formerly known as ‘drop ins’) so please plan accordingly. There are multiple ways to contact the advising staff, so please take a look at the advising page for more information. Remember we’ll have a sign at the front desk saying when the peer advisers are available, so that is a good option for many quick questions.

- CSE 442 moved to WF 900-1020
- CSE 461 moved to MWF 330-420
