Hi everyone,
ACM elections are fast approaching. If you feel that you or someone you know would have a positive impact on the CSE community, you should nominate them for ACM! After all the nominations have been collected, nominees will be sent an email explaining the available positions and how to run.
You can nominate students here. (Please note that nominees must be a current UW CSE student with a valid @cs email address. All other submissions will be ignored).
Love,
John
Good morning undergrads,
If you are interested in applying to the 5th year masters (combined BS/MS) program, please join us for an information session next Wednesday, April 20th at 4:30pm in CSE 305.
The optimal time to apply is approximately one year before you plan to finish your undergrad degree.
Take a look at the webpages to familiarize yourself with the program and then join us on the 20th. Faculty advisor (Professor Brian Curless) and I, along with a few students from the program, will be there to answer your questions.
Hello All,
The Master of Health Administration Program (MHA) at UW, in collaboration with the Washington State Health Care Executives Forum (WSHEF), is thrilled to announce an exclusive event for ethnically and academically diverse undergraduate students such as yourself!
The focus of the event is to provide essential information about the MHA program, allow you to explore the plethora of career opportunities afforded by this field, and network with potential students, faculty, and current healthcare administrators. This event is particularly pertinent to students with an interest in serving the community through the impact of their efforts in the realm of healthcare or who are looking to explore healthcare for alternative careers paths.
Please Join Us!
Thursday April 28
4:00 – 6:00PM HUB 340
Pizza & Refreshments provided!!!
More info & RSVP click here
We request that you attend this event so that you may examine future career options with an MHA degree as well as meet new colleagues and friends, network with current professionals, faculty, and other diverse students. We look forward to seeing you at the event!
Please let us know of an available time to meet at your earliest convenience at harrisd@uw.edu.

Want to learn more about the 2016 – 2017 animation course series? Attend an info session!
www.cs.washington.edu/
When:
Where:
Paul G. Allen Center room 691 (Gates Commons, 6th floor)
What:
Computer Science & Engineering (CSE) and the Animation Research Labs invite you to an information session on the Animation Production undergraduate course sequence at UW Seattle. This sequence runs from Summer 2016 (A term) through Spring 2017. The Summer course, Story Design for Computer Animation, is highly recommended but optional.
The Animation Capstone culminates in a very professional and exciting collaboratively produced digital short film, similar in process to Disney/Pixar and Dreamworks productions. Examples of previous award winning films produced in the dept will be shown and questions regarding applications and admission, etc. will be addressed. We look forward to seeing you there. Light refreshments will be served.
For questions, contact Erin Caswell at emc29@cs.washington.edu.
Pair your ideas with funds to shape the Husky Experience!
The brand-new Husky Seed Fund, created by students for students, is accepting proposals for innovative projects that will enhance the student experience for all.
Your idea could become reality with a seed fund award of up to $5000 (with an average of $2500). Winning projects will be: Inclusive, Impactful and Practical. What change would YOU like to see at the UW? What could YOU do with some seed funding to make it happen?
See our facebook page https://www.facebook.com/huskyseedfund and application (https://catalyst.uw.edu/webq/survey/seedfund/297310) for more details.
Undergraduate, graduate and professional students at UW Seattle are eligible to apply.
Questions? Contact HESAC members at seedfund@uw.edu.
Dear CSE undergrads,
Some of you might have seen or heard about a recent EE web page soliciting their students to sign a petition to change their department’s name to ECE — Electrical and Computer Engineering.
That page has now been taken down, but I’d just like to squash any rumors or confusion that may have resulted – in particular, we are not merging with EE and we will not be creating a joint EECS department at UW.
However, as you may already be aware, over the last few years we have been working jointly with EE on a set of computer engineering courses that would make sense for students in both departments, because students in both departments need basic computer engineering knowledge. Many of you have already taken courses that have both CSE and EE students in them. We have also done joint faculty hires between the two departments, which has been great for both of us. Of course, we also have joint faculty with many other departments, including Statistics, Mathematics, Applied Math, and Genome Science. Such joint hires have lots of advantages and we expect to see more in the future – it’s the way the world is going.
It is true that EE has been thinking about a possible future name change in recognition of the fact that many of their students are already studying aspects of computer engineering (which is a broad field ranging from signals level hardware to high-level software systems, etc.). The details have not been worked out at this point, but this would mainly be a change in name. We are not changing our program, and EE will not dramatically change its program – they would simply change their name to reflect what they already teach. When and if this idea is further along, we would certainly explain in advance what will happen and what it all means.
Most important, we do not expect that such a name change – if it does happen — would impact CSE students in any way or change “the world of CSE as you know it.”
Cheers,
Hank
