Computational Media Women@CC- Co-Chair Georgia Institute of Technology ----- Forwarded Message ----- From: mgoodman(a)cc.gatech.edu To: ccleaders(a)lists.gatech.edu Sent: Tuesday, September 22, 2009 10:23:10 AM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern Subject: [ccleaders] IMC Financial Markets on Campus! Hello Leaders! I’m writing to let you all know that we are going to have our very first corporate partner coming to the CoC on Thursday. IMC will have a table in the lobby or the commons and be passing out t-shirts, cotton candy, popcorn, and other fun giveaways. I would very, very much appreciate it if you could all stop by, even if you are not actively looking for a job to talk to the recruiters. They have joined on an introductory membership this year, so in order to retain, and hopefully increase their support next year, we really need to show them the quality and excitement of our students. I know you are all capable of that, and for those of you that are looking for jobs, they have some really awesome opportunities! Remember the CAP members are supporting your programs, and filling your budgets, so please help us out here and show them your smiling face. I’d also appreciate it if you would send the same kind of encouraging email to your members, explaining that this company, among others is the reason that you all are able to have such awesome events. I will see you all at CCLeaders on Friday!

We are working to gather volunteers to participate and raise funds for a Making Strides Against Breast Cancer, an annual walk held in Atlantic Station. Could you please forward the following message to your undergraduate/graduate student lists and fellow faculty/colleagues? I really appreciate your help. Thank you very much! -Munir Pathak ======================================================================= Making Strides Against Breast Cancer is an annual 3-5K noncompetitive walk held at various locations throughout the country. Atlanta is one of the major cities involved, contributing to a total donation of $60 million last year toward the fight against breast cancer. This is your opportunity to honor breast cancer survivors, remember people we have lost, and raise funds and awareness to help end this disease. This year's event will be held on Saturday, October 24 at Atlantic Station. Georgia Tech Colleges Against Cancer (CAC) is searching for motivated individuals, groups, and organizations to join us in this event. The goal is to create one big team from Georgia Tech and compile everyone's fundraising efforts into one large donation. By joining the team, every individual/organization will have the responsibility to raise a minimum of $15 per person participating. The top two individuals or organizations that raise the most money will receive an award for their efforts. Some ways money can be raised include through personal/family/friend donations, individual fundraising efforts, or through a joint fundraising effort on campus with CAC. If interested, more information will be available about fundraising. If you or your organization is interested in participating, please contact me at mpathak3(a)gatech.edu for further information. If you wish to join the team right away, please sign up at http://main.acsevents.org/site/TR/MakingStridesAgainstBreastCancer/MSABCFY1… and join the team named "Georgia Tech CAC". The deadline for organizations to join will be Tuesday, October 6 at 9pm. This is to ensure that everyone has enough time to fundraise. So join the team. Join the fight. Make a difference in the lives of those who need it. Make strides against breast cancer! Sincerely, Munir G. Pathak Industrial & Systems Engineering Georgia Institute of Technology

As most of you know, I am currently working for Union Pacific (UP) in Omaha, and so far, it's been a great experience, and I have learned so much! :) I wanted to let you all know that UP will be at the career fair, and they are also holding a super-fun "Buzzing Around the Career Fair" information session. There will be free dinner, super-cool prizes, raffles, and lots of good tips on how to land a great job via the career fair. I can also personally say that 2 recruiters are AWESOME - I work with them often, and they are really fun, down-to-earth, and both very intelligent people too. :) Thanks all & hope life in the ATL is treating you well! :) ~Sweta -- Sweta Vajjhala Website: http://www.swetav.com Blog: http://www.blog.swetav.com LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/swetavajjhala Georgia Institute of Technology 2008
