Troublemakers: Silicon Valley’s Coming of Age
A conversation with historian and author Leslie Berlin
Monday, January 29, 4:30-6:00PM
University of Washington HUB, Room 214
At a time when the five most valuable companies on the planet are high-tech firms and nearly half of Americans say they cannot live without their cell phones, Troublemakers reveals the untold story of how we got here. This is the gripping tale of seven exceptional men and women, pioneers of Silicon Valley in the 1970s and early 1980s. Together, they worked across generations, industries, and companies to bring technology from Pentagon offices and university laboratories to the rest of us. In doing so, they changed the world. Author Leslie Berlin comes to the University of Washington to share this history and its lessons, in conversation with Professor of History Margaret O’Mara.
Co-sponsored by the UW Department of History, the Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science and Engineering, and the UW Information School.
This event is free and open to the public. Parking and transit information for the HUB can be found here.
A reminder that the Resume Review Workshop will be held today, January 16 from 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm in the CSE Atrium.
This workshop, for Allen School CSE majors only, is designed to allow students to gather tips from the experts to turn their resume drafts into documents that will help land their dream job or internship.
All you need to attend is a few printed copies of your resume–anything from a rough draft to almost-finished product is fine. Show up anytime between 3:00 and 5:00 pm (plan on 20 minutes per review) to share your resume with one or more recruiters or technical interview experts from several of our affiliate companies, both large and small. These experts will provide resume advice to get your resume in great shape for the upcoming recruiting fair on January 24th and 25th.
We may have to cancel dropins tomorrow morning during the 10-11am time slot – just a heads up as we are going to be very short staffed. We may have a peer advisor available for quick questions.
We apologize for the inconvenience and for the long wait times you have experienced this past week. We have hired an additional advisor (Yay Lacey!) who is quickly coming up to speed and we’re hiring 5 more peer advisors so we are hoping that things will improve a bit more in the future.
We have over 1000 current majors and probably close to 1500 or so prospective students on campus, so we’re going to continue seeing large demand for advising time in the near future. We appreciate everyone’s patience and encourage you to plan ahead for questions as much as possible.
Sincerely,
CSE Advising
