ACM Officer Elections

timjv — Tue, 24 Apr 2012 01:32:59 +0000

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, the only position in contest is Chair!

Voting will be open for about 24hrs.

Positions:

Chair: The Chair runs our weekly meetings and makes sure that everything ultimately gets done by delegating tasks, keeping the internal wiki updated and keeping track of deadlines.

I’m going to bring back the coke closet.

Michelle Lim

You know what hasn’t been around in a while? The Coke Closet. I’ll do my best to get that back, because all we need is an army of cats with turret guns mounted on their backs to protect it. Mary Pimenova says I should promise a fire truck and lots of dalmatian puppies too, so I am. But you know what really gets me? Someone nominated me. It means that at least one of you have faith in me to serve as an officer of ACM. I want to continue to step up as a member of the CSE community. As ACM-W’s Treasurer this past year, I bring experience. As UW Husky Capture the Flag’s President, I bring leadership qualities strong enough to keep nocturnal students coordinated. As a fellow lab denizen, I’m also one of you and that means I can represent you better as a part of ACM. Turret-mounted kittens sound amazing, though we can do better than that to reopen the Coke Closet. Send me your ideas, and I’ll strive to turn them into reality. Let’s make next year even more awesome than this last year.

2008 T-shirt Contest!!!

helene — Tue, 08 Apr 2008 01:03:44 +0000

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.

SEBA Spotlight Series: Bench to Market, a discussion on Tech Transfer

joe — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 17:03:22 +0000

The February Spotlight Speaker event is going to be a panel session
on the topic of Technology Transfer, tailored specifically for the members of the UW community. Have you ever wondered how laboratory technologies and techniques become commercial products and practices? Is there a technology that you want to license and/or commercialize, or is this a future possibility? Are you interested in how start-up companies are formed? Are you aware of your legal rights and responsibilities throughout this process?

Answers to all of these questions, as well as many others, will be addressed by a panel of three individuals who are involved in different apects of the technology transfer process:

Patrick Shelby, the Technology Manager of Engineering in the UW TechTransfer office, will provide an overview of the steps of the technology transfer process.
Jim Roberts, the Business Development Officer of the UW TechTransfer office and head of the newly-developed LaunchPad initiative, will talk about how the TechTransfer office can help UW innovators with their start-up companies.
Karl Hermanns, the managing partner of the Seattle IP law firm Seed IP, an adjunct professor in the UW school of law, and an advisory board member to the Bioengineering Department’s program in technology commercialization, will talk about the legal dimension of technology transfer.

After each speaker introduces his involvement with technology transfer and relates his own experiences with the process, the panel will be open to questions from the audience.

When: February 20, 2008 from 5-7pm
Where: 248 Schmitz
