FREE DRINKS, FREE FOOD

Want to socialize with other CS students? The CSSS Board Games Night is a place to meet new friends and bond over some fun board games! Come for free snacks and a great time!

Come join us for the CSSS Welcome Back BBQ for a free lunch on Imagine Day!

We’ll be serving hot dogs right in front of ICICS. The BBQ will run as part of the CS Open House, held in the ICICS atrium area. You can find out more about CS programs (both academic and extracurricular), CS clubs, and talk to company representatives about career opportunities!

Let’s face it — the world needs help. The kind of help that happens when you take the top young minds from around the globe and turn them loose on solving the world’s toughest problems. That’s what the Imagine Cup is all about. This is your chance to innovate and create, show the world what you’ve got, and win some serious prizes. Simply put, it’s your chance to use the power of technology to change the world—and have some fun while you’re at it. Come to see how you can win a trip to Seoul, South Korea in Microsoft’s 2007 Imagine Cup Kickoff. Featuring Software Development, Algorithm, AI, IT, Web challenges, and more.

You can find out more about the Imagine Cup at http://www.imaginecup.com. Register with code “UBC” to be counted!

Pizza and Pop will be provided. Please RSVP at [email protected] if you’ll be there! :-)

Congratulation to Taivo Evard and Richard Quan for winning the “Who is Who contest”. Please drop by the CSSS office during our office hours to pick up your prizes!

Come join us for the biggest Consulting Gathering of the year! Overlook the calm waters of Coal Harbour and the nightscape of Downtown Vancouver. Mingle among more than 150 fellow colleagues and enthusiastic students from UBC and SFU. Enjoy light refreshments and complimentary drink (first come first served).
