You have a very strong officer lineup for next year — please congratulate them if you see them! Thanks so much to everyone who ran; it was great to see such a solid group of candidates and a pity we couldn’t elect them all!

• Chair: Lisa Fiedler
• Vice-Chair: Justine Sherry
• Membership Coordinator: Charlotte Robinson
• Internal Relations: Patrick Tsao
• Treasurer: Orion Buske
• Treasurer: Nick Garrett
• Webmaster: Sunil Garg

ACM officership is a great way to be involved in your CSE community. Not only does it provide great visibility within the department and many opportunities for building relationships, it also gives you a lot of time with industry recruiters and engineers.

This year, all seven positions are available!

As last year, we’ll do voting in a staggered format — voting for chair will be open for about 24hrs, then for vice-chair and so on down the list. This means that you can be considered for more than one position if you are interested. We feel this is the most fair way of establishing officers.

Please nominate either yourself or a friend or both! If you are interested in being a candidate, please send the position(s) you are interested in, a recent picture and a short blurb to ln@cs.washington.edu If you are nominating a friend, send their e-mail address and they will get further instructions.

Positions:

• Chair: corporate fundraising, event planning, meeting facilitation
• Vice-Chair: corporate fundraising, event planning
• Membership Coordinator: e-mail and membership list updating, membership evangelism, outreach
• Internal Relations Officer: meeting note-taking, communication with faculty, staff, student body
• Treasurer x2: coke closet management, money deposits, budget balancing
• Web Master: event posting, website management

Nominations close Monday April 21st. We will have a short Q&A session that day (time/place TBA) and voting will open Tuesday.

I hope the lovely but fickle spring weather has replenished your
creative juices because we need some department t-shirts!

The basic idea: you submit a design to Felix by
April 23rd and everyone votes for their favs in the following week.

We need a high-quality vector graphic that’s ready for print (each
color a different layer, scalable, etc.) Feel free to re-submit a
design, collaborate on ideas or submit more than one. On the 23rd,
we’ll have all the designs up and allow CSE students, faculty, and staff
to vote on what they like best. The contest’s grand prize is, of course,
the pride and satisfaction of having your work worn by the students,
faculty, and staff of this department.

Need some ideas? Check out last year’s designs.

Again, please e-mail your submissions to Felix by the 23rd.

Do you enjoy the thrill of solving puzzles in a competitive team environment? Do we have a great event for you! It’s called Google Puzzles and it’s a a fun and challenging competition where you’ll work with 4 other team members to solve mind-bending puzzles. Not only will you have a lot of fun, but you’ll also have the potential to win some great prizes.

Do you have what it takes? Join us for Google Puzzles on April 16th from 5-8pm.

Please REGISTER for this event today! Teams of FIVE are strongly encouraged. Please choose a team name with friends and then each register here using that name. Independents will be placed in groups of five.
