Hi girls! Thanks to everyone who came to the Microsoft-sponsored dinner at Figo tonight. I hope everyone had a great time! Women@CC's first meeting of the semester is postponed, so that those who wish to attend Microsoft's Big App on Campus Hack-a-thon can go to the info-session this Thursday from 6-8pm in Klaus 2443. If you are planning on attending the Hack-a-thon, you will need to go to the info-session to set up your computer. W@CC's regular meetings will instead start next Thursday, January 26th from 6-7pm. We will start off the semester with a mini-spa night (part two!) and an explanation of what to expect for the rest of the semester.
