Just a reminder that summer courses are open for registration. We’ll be opening some of these courses to non majors in the next few weeks, so if you think you might want to take CSE courses this summer, we encourage you to go ahead and get signed up. CSE 351 has a lot of room and is taught by one of the common 351 instructors so that’s one to consider.
331, 332, 333, 344, and 351 are all offered.

Presented by Allen School alum Stephanie Smallman

Just a friendly reminder that Lab 022 is the quiet lab so you should be, well, very, very quiet. That means whispering if you must have a short side conversation, but better yet, move to another lab if you need to have constant conversations.
Thank you all for your cooperation.
Sincerely,
CSE Advising
To all students who think you are graduating, please double check your degree audit in your My Plan to see that your graduation date is accurately listed at the top. It should say: Graduation Date with the quarter you plan to graduate.
If you do not see a graduation date, and you think you filed, please contact ugrad-advisor@cs.uw.edu as soon as possible.
If you want to graduate at the end of spring and have not filed, you need to contact an adviser in CSE before Friday at noon.
And finally, please make sure to update your permanent address in MyUW so your graduation invitations go to the right place. For students who live in WA or other states in the US, they will go to your permanent address, for international students we’ll mail it to your local address.
There will be more information in the next few weeks regarding graduation so please be watching your emails carefully.

Dear Allen School,
As part of our ongoing series of events, the Allen School is organizing an LGBTQ* ice-cream social.
When: April 19th, 2-3:30 PM
Where: Meet in the Allen Center Atrium, we’ll walk over to the HUB ice-cream place.
As usual, the idea is to foster a sense of community for people (grad, undergrad, faculty, staff) who have a diverse sexual/romantic orientation and/or gender identity and/or are questioning and/or are allies. We have no agenda for the social, just to get to know each other.
Note that this event will be sponsored by the Allen School, aka ice cream’s on us!
Cheers,
Maarten Sap, with the support of the Allen School Diversity Committee
