We will be having a Semi-Annual General Meeting. At this meeting, we will talk about updates related to what we have done this year as an executive, as well as constitutional amendments. Please see the agenda.
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
It’s that time of the year again: the time when we all need a break, a dinner out, a {nice|rainy} view of the city, music by DJs Autonomy and DJBee, maybe some dancing, and a chance to sing “I’m On a Boat” far too many times. Tickets for our year-end cruise are for sale now in the CSSS office, ICICS X139 until March 17 and ICICS 021 (at the end of the hallway by the undergraduate labs) after that.
CSSS members (all Computer Science undergraduate students) get tickets for $35 each for themselves and one guest. Others may buy tickets at $80 each. Boarding starts at 6:30 on the MV Harbour Princess; be sure to arrive before 7 unless you’re a strong swimmer.
Next week being Science Week, we’d like all you CS students to come and pay us a visit. Especially on Tuesday, cause we’re selling Krispy Kremes again at our booth! These things were wildly popular at our last sale, and we expect this time to be no exception. 1200 Krispy Kreme donuts will be on sale, at cheap prices of $1 for one donut, $2 for three donuts, and $8 per dozen. That’s over 2^10 for those of you who are mathematically inclined.
