[UWAB] FW: Budgets are due Thursday.

-----Original Message----- From: Gary Christopher Mann [mailto:gmann@cc.gatech.edu] Sent: Monday, February 27, 2006 9:18 AM To: ucouncil(a)cc.gatech.edu Cc: micsexec(a)cc.gatech.edu Subject: Budgets are due Thursday. Folks - Please fwd this to the executive members of your respective orgs. This is just a reminder. Each organization should submit a budget that will help uCouncil gage how to spend the shared account balance. This budget process should also be good to help organizations plan for the rest of the semester, and we need to refine this process because we will do something similar for 2006/2007. We don't have any formal rules yet for the quality of the budgets, but it would be better if you are as specific as possible when naming items on the spreadsheet. I have attached a simple template that you may use to get started. All organizations that want fund allocations should submit the budget via email to me by noon Thursday. I will merge them and have printed copies available for review at the meeting. If you are unable to turn around a budget in this time frame (because your organization is unable to meet or there is no proper process in the organization for this kind of outside funding), please let me know asap so that we can figure out something fair. Thanks, Gary -- ________________________________________________________ Gary Christopher Mann Treasurer Undergrad Council, College of Computing Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta GA, 30332 Email: gtg803q(a)mail.gatech.edu, gmann(a)cc.gatech.edu Phone: (404) 276-1949, (404) 206-1087 ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

FYI - please help spread the word..... ~Maureen~ -----Original Message----- From: gtacm-bounces(a)cc.gatech.edu [mailto:gtacm-bounces@cc.gatech.edu] On Behalf Of Brandon Carpenter Sent: Tuesday, February 21, 2006 7:25 PM To: gtacm(a)cc.gatech.edu Subject: [GTACM] Announcing TopCoder at Georgia Tech Hello everyone! The Georgia Tech ACM is proud to announce that TopCoder (http:// www.topcoder.com) will be hosting a programming competition on Monday, March 6th beginning at 8:30pm. All students are welcome to compete. It will take place in the States Lab and all students with a CoC account will be given access to the machines for that day. In addition, students without a CoC account may bring their laptops and utilize the LAWN wireless network to connect to the TopCoder website. This is a great chance to hone your programming skills or to simply show them off! Part of the reason that we are hosting it specifically in the lab is to facilitate discussion among students. The first prize will be an iPod Nano, second place will receive a 1GB Flash Memory drive, and third place will receive a $50 gift certificate to the Georgia Tech Barnes and Noble. A flyer provided by TopCoder is attatched. Please see http://www.topcoder.com/gatech for more details and to register!! Brandon H. Carpenter President - gtACM

RE: [UWAB] Meeting Tomorrow

I'll be there today and we need to discuss a strategy for recruiting from the Undeclared pool of admitted women! Most of them have no idea what computing is and have not thought about that possibility. How can we entice them to consider us??? There are at least 200 undeclared women who have been admitted to GT for the fall - so we do have an opportunity here. Please bring your ideas. See you there!

[UWAB] Participants Needed
by Michelle Kitaoka 20 Feb '06

20 Feb '06

Ladies, Please, consider participating in Kristin Vadas' user study. So far, she has few female participants. Here are three good reasons for participating: 1. To start designing programs with women in mind, women need to participate in user studies. 2. You would gain a little more exposure to research as an undergraduate, which you may find helpful when conducting your own research. 3. You would be helping an active leader and alumni from the uwomen@ccgroup. If you are interested, please email Kristin at vadas(a)cc.gatech.edu These are the times she will be running studies: 21-Feb 9:00 AM 21-Feb 3:00 PM 21-Feb 6:30 PM 21-Feb 8:00 PM 21-Feb 9:30 PM Thanks, Michelle
