Just in time for the start of term is a barbeque! Our barbeques have always been a popular and culinary success with your friendly neighbourhood CSSS execs behind the grill. Everybody is invited!
Prices are $2 for a burger and 50 cents for a sweet tasting carbonated beverage otherwise known as a “pop”. First year CS students get a free burger upon display of their student ID card and answer to a skill testing question to verify CS student status (okay, we were joking about the last part).
Interested in joining UBC Computer Science at this year’s Vancouver Sun Run? The race is on April 23, at 9:00 a.m. and would be a great way to take a short break from studying for finals and to support a number good causes. The cost to register is $35. Early registration for Corporate teams ends on February 10. After that, registration is $40, so be sure to register early.

IT Night was a success and we are looking forward to an even better night next year. Should you have any questions regarding recruiting opportunities, or anything else, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
We would also love to hear any suggestions that you might have for improving IT Night. While many of us are graduating, we do pass on these suggestions to next year’s executive.

Why Consider a UBC CS Student?
Google recruits from two schools in Canada: Waterloo and UBC. Microsoft has hired Program Managers from at least the last two graduating classes. We don’t know exactly what UBC CS students have, but clearly some students are very employable.
Here are some of the things that may make UBC CS students worth looking at:
Built SQL databases and GUI front ends to run them
Managed teams of 8 in semester long project only courses
Designed interfaces incorporating principles of Human Computer Interaction (HCI)
Implemented and designed online shopping systems from the DB to the UI
