Here are some upcoming recruitment events. We need as much help as possible at most events because we have an increased number of students attending due to making their final college decisions. We also have several high school groups coming to visit. Student leaders, please send this email out to your group because we need lots of help. Please let me know which of the following events you can help out with: Monday 3/30 (2pm-3pm) - Connect With Tech...We need someone to sit at the table and answer questions and direct students to the room where Tom Pilsch gives an info session. This takes place in the Student Center Ballroom Friday 4/3 (10am-11am) - Friday Morning info session. At the moment we only have one family registered. All you have to do is talk about CS and CM and what all we offer in the College of Computing as far as co-ops/interns, study abroad, and student orgs. This takes place in the student orgs room. Friday 4/4 (4pm-5pm) - Welcome Weekend Info Session. Same as before but this is geared towards minority recruitment. I would love to have some M@CC members attend. This takes place in the Student Success Center. Saturday 4/4 (12:30-1:30) - Saturday Info Session. This is pretty much like the Friday info session but takes place in the Student Success Center. Candis and Teddy have done this before. Monday 4/6 (2pm-3pm) - Connect with Tech. Same as above Wednesday 4/8 (10-12) - We have two different information sessions on this day. We have the regular morning information session for students and parents. We also have a group of 8th graders from Lovett coming to do a robotics tour/information session. Monday 4/13 (12:30-2:30) - Preview GT. A series of information sessions that will take place in the student center. More details to come if you're interested in helping. Wednesday 4/15 (10-12) - Information session for a group of Lovett High School Students Thursday 4/16 (9-11:30) - Information session for a group of Norcross High School Students (big group...and I have a final presentation to give during this time) Friday 4/17 (9:30-12:30) - Information session for a group of Luella High School Students Sunday 4/19 (2-4) - Accepted Women's Reception. I need one of the Women@CC to help with this. I will be out of town that weekend and will be on my way home on Sunday, so I basically need someone to get it set up and fill in until I can get there. You basically just sit at a table and talk to parents and students...most of the time you just sit there. This will be different though because we have several girls coming to the overnight event after this so you will have waiver to get them to sign for the event and will meet with them and their parents. I know there are a lot of events but for some reason they all fall this last month of school...much like most of our final projects and presentations. So if you can help with any or all of them please please let me know! If you can help this upcoming weekend (April 3-4) that would be great because I will be out of town! Thanks, Jennifer Whitlow -- Candis Pham B.S. Computational Media Georgia Institute of Technology

[UWAB] CoCaesar's Palace- Great Job!!!
by Pham, Candis E 27 Mar '09

27 Mar '09

Hey everyone, Great job with CoCaesar's Palace! There were at least 170 people at the event, and that's just based on sign-ups! I want to give a special thank you to Cedric Stallworth who helped us throughout the entire event whether it was buying us food, bringing us a humongous cart, or simply agreeing to be robbed by Anime. To all the student organizations, thank you so much for getting so into the theme and coming up with some great ideas. At the SAB booth, I didn't realize Chas was so good at sooting, and M@CC, the bull was hilarious. Anime O'Tekku, the robbery skit priceless. Overall, it was a great event. To everyone who came and helped staff the event, you're absolutely awesome! Thanks for all your hard work! We couldn't have done it without you. -- Candis Pham B.S.

[UWAB] Today's the Day!! - CoCaesar's Palace
by Pham, Candis E 26 Mar '09

26 Mar '09

Hey everyone! Today's the Day! If you'd like to help with set-up and prep, feel free to start as soon as 10:00 this morning. I should be in there around 10:45 and will be there (CoC or Klaus) somewhere all day. If you get there before me and are not sure of what to do, we have a bunch of supplies (the bunch of Wal-mart bags and such sitting in my office/cubicle area) that needs to be moved to the Conference room that connects to Klaus. Also, balloons need to be blown up (helium tank is in CoC supply closet; do NOT move the helium tank out from the closet). Also, PLEASE don't forget to keep telling people that this is going on! Whether you're announcing it to your classes, telling a friend, or just grabbing and telling random people in the commons (please don't scare them), let people know. Thank you so much for all of your help! It's supposed to stop raining before the event, so I hope it'll be a great event! -- Candis Pham B.S. Computational Media Student Assistant II - College of Computing Women@CC- Chair Georgia Institute of Technology

[UWAB] MEETING TODAY!!!!!- 4 days until CoCaesars!
by Pham, Candis E 23 Mar '09

23 Mar '09

Good morning girls, I hope everyone had a fabulous spring break! However, don't forget that there's a Women@CC "meeting" today (Monday, March 23, 2009) at 4:00p in the Student Orgs Room (CCB 104b). We have only four days left until CoCaesar's Palace, so today we will be shopping for supplies and chalking, as well as a few other odds and ends. Even if you can't go shopping or have to leave early, there will be some things that need to be done at the College as well. Thanks, and I hope to see you tonight! -- Candis Pham B.S.

[UWAB] A few things
by Pham, Candis E 19 Mar '09

19 Mar '09

Good morning everyone, I hope you're having a fabulous spring break! 1. On Monday, March 23, instead of our regular meeting, we'll be making preparations for CoCaesar's by shopping for supplies, chalking, building a saloon, etc. Please come out to help! ^_^ 2. If you would still like to buy some decorations for CoCaesar's online, the event is getting close, so remember to take shipping days into consideration. Things that have been bought (so you know that someone hasn't already ordered something) are listed on the Swiki under "Stuff to Buy and Bring" at the bottom of the page. 3. It's past the deadline for me to sign you up for Tech Beautification Day, but if you would still like to join us, please sign up as an individual volunteer for the 10th Street along the Tennis Courts project. Limited spots are left, so sign up today! We'd be happy to have to join us!! As always, if you have any questions or comments, feel free to email me (cpham3(a)gatech.edu) or Victoria Au (vau(a)gatech.edu) Thanks, and have a great day! -- Candis Pham B.S.

[UWAB] ASK YOUR PROFESSORS NOW!
by Pham, Candis E 12 Mar '09

12 Mar '09

Hey girls, There's been maybe two people who have been by to pick up their Professor's letters. If you have time, please come by CCB 104b to pick them up and ask your professors. We learned last year that many people don't check their email over Spring Break and usual have things come up a few days before the event. After you've talked to your professor and they agree to be a dealer, don't forget to put their name at the appropriate time slot on the swiki (http://swiki.cc.gatech.edu:8080/WUAB/139) There are still LOTS of slots open. Thanks, and have a great Spring Break! -- Candis Pham B.S. Computational Media Women@CC- Chair Georgia Institute of Technology
