W@CC Meeting --> room 347
by Fletcher, Andrea C 29 Sep '15

29 Sep '15

Hey everyone! We got kicked out of our usual room and will be holding our weekly meeting (at 6:30) in room 347. We had a very last minute cancellation by our guest speaker so our plan for tonight is to check out the top ten HackGT projects, hear about everyone's experiences if they went, and update our page on the new website. As always, there will be pizza :) Andrea Fletcher Computer Science/Georgia Tech, Class of 2016 Denning Technology & Management Scholar Undergraduate Teaching Assistant Undergraduate Researcher 678-343-1790 acfletch53(a)gatech.edu

We've had sev eral companies reach out t o W@CC in particular. Here are two events you don't want to miss! See you guys (gals? ladies? y'all?) there! W@CC will NOT (I repeat, NOT) be meeting this week, nor will any other CoC orgs. All meetings are cancelled due to the career fair. The College of Computing has asked us to gauge the interest in attending Technica the first all-ladies hackathon coming to the University of Maryland November 7 - 8th. Please fill out this form if this interests you. Those who are interested in playing Powder Puff football for the CoC during homecoming should contact Coach Troy at tpeace(a)cc.gatech.edu Download the Career Fair App for all of your career-fair-related needs If you're interested in following up with Jeff Garbers (the guest speaker at our meeting last week) from VentureLab, please reach out to him at jeff.garbers(a)venturelab.gatech.edu Courtesy of Christen Steel, one of the CoC advisors, here's a great article on how startups are using tech to fight workplace bias. *highly recommended* A message from the Georgia Tech Counseling Center: My name is Dr. Drew Adelman, and I am a Staff Psychologist and Coordinator for Diversity Programs with the Georgia Tech Counseling Center.

If you ask me, the only thing better than a three-day weekend is the four-day week that follows. Start off the week right tomorrow night at our weekly meeting! We'll get to hear from one of the presidents of VentureLab (http://gatech.us11.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=7d4d0ae5e37d2ecf864232f25…) , followed by a Career Fair (http://gatech.us11.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=7d4d0ae5e37d2ecf864232f25…) crash course/survival guide (can you believe it's next week?!), and we'll bring some nail polish along in case anyone wants to chill out and paint their nails. Standing room only at the Imposter Syndrome talk http://gatech.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=7d4d0ae5e37d2ecf864232f25&… Facebook (http://gatech.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=7d4d0ae5e37d2ecf864232f25&…) mailto:andrea.fletcher@cc.gatech.edu Email (mailto:andrea.fletcher@cc.gatech.edu) http://gatech.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=7d4d0ae5e37d2ecf864232f25&… Website (http://gatech.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=7d4d0ae5e37d2ecf864232f25&…) ** Congratulations Grace Hopper scholarship recipients! ------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks to the amazing CoC staff, starting this week we now have CCB 340 reserved every Wednesday 8:00-10:00pm as a w@cc-only study room. Come by if you are looking for a place to work, and who knows! Maybe someone else there will be able to find your missing semicolon :) >From now on, W@CC will be sending out weekly newsletters (such as this one) in order to keep you as informed while keeping your inbox clutter-free.
