[UWAB] Joint UPE, W@CC, M@CC Corporate Dinner!
by Pham, Candis E 18 Jan '09

18 Jan '09

Hello girls! UPE, the International Honor Society for Computer Science, has invited us to participate in their annual corporate dinner! At the dinner, recruiters from the career fair will have dinner and mingle with us the Tuesday of the career fair (Feb 3rd) around 6:00p. They're planning to have 6 or 7 companies there and aim to get about 25 to 30 students. There will be a catered dinner (free to students) with 3 courses, and for each course, students will go to a different table and be able to talk to a different recruiter. At the end, there will be about half an hour for mingling, for students who didn't get to talk to all of the companies they wanted to talk to. This is a great opportunity to build contacts with companies, especially if you are or will be looking for a job position, whether that be an internship, co-op, or full time position! Whether or not you are interested in attending, please indicate yes or no on the following short survey. LINK FOR SURVEY: http://spreadsheets.google.com/embeddedform?key=pCGDsNbBu95iYuvndiF3aCQ As always, if you have any questions or comments, feel free to email me at cpham3(a)gatech.edu or Victoria Au at vau(a)gatech.edu.

All new and renewal applications must follow the on-line application process at http://fellowships.hq.nasa.gov/gsrp/nav/. This is also the site for the online application. When the application has been submitted, the student will need to print out a complete copy for OSP. No later than the morning of January 26th, bring to OSP the proposal routing form, all pages of the printed application (including the cover page to be signed), the faculty advisor's letter of recommendation, and official transcripts. OSP will mail the signature form, letter, and transcripts to the required NASA address, or the student or department may send it. We will need a department Federal Express charge number if OSP is to submit the information. Please let me know in advance of anyone planning to submit a proposal, and let me know if you have any questions after going over the instructions.

GSRP Budget The fellowships provide $21,000 stipend, $6,000 student allowance for program related travel and other expenses, and $3,000 university allowance for a total of $30,000. Georgia Tech requires that the students be hired as GRAs and paid through the payroll system. Also, GT requires that tuition remission (currently $624 per month) be charged to the grant in proportion to the GRA salary that is charged to the grant. The $3,000 university allowance should be used for tuition remission. A partial waiver for the tuition remission amount exceeding $3,000 has been approved. The departments will need to determine for departmental purposes how salary in excess of $21,000 and other expenses that exceed the grant allowance will be covered. Students accepting awards may not receive concurrently other Federal funding. Students must be U.S. citizens.

Hello everyone! We're looking for participants to form a College of Computing- Student Organizations team in the annual Relay For Life event! The event will be the night of Friday, April 10, 2009 at the CRC SAC fields. Relay For Life®, the American Cancer Society's signature event, is a fun-filled overnight experience designed to bring together those who have been touched by cancer. At Relay, people from within the community gather to celebrate survivors, remember those lost to cancer, and to fight back against this disease. Relay participants help raise money and awareness to support the American Cancer Society in its lifesaving mission to eliminate cancer as a major health issue. During Relay For Life ® events, teams of people gather at schools, fairgrounds, or parks and take turns walking or running laps. The events are held overnight to represent the fact that cancer never sleeps. Through the survivors' lap and the luminaria ceremony, we honor the people who have faced cancer first hand, and we remember those who have been lost to this disease. If you would like to help out, please join by registering at http://main.acsevents.org/goto/coc. This is really an awesome event, lots of fun, and for a great cause.
