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.

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.

Are you interested in meeting new people on campus? Are you interested in working on service projects to better Georgia Tech and the community? How about getting involved in some mind-enriching activities, like going to a museum or a play? Come Join the Epsilon Theta chapter of Phi Sigma Pi! Phi Sigma Pi is a co-ed organization that brings the best elements of an honor society, service club and social fraternity into a fusion of Scholarship, Leadership and Fellowship. Phi Sigma Pi is an active campus organization at Georgia Tech and offers a wide variety of experiences for our members. Ranging from academic programs and leadership opportunities to service projects and social gatherings, our activities celebrate the diversity of our members and promote the qualities of involvement and brotherhood. Most importantly, we are seeking new members who are friendly, well-rounded and interested in making an impact on campus. We are different from other Greek organizations, so other Greeks are welcome! Because this letter can only begin to explain Phi Sigma Pi, we hope you will attend a Meet Phi Sigma Pi Night to learn more! There will be two of these information meetings: Thursday, August 27 at 7pm in Student Center Rm. 321 and Monday, August 31 at 7pm in Student Center Rm. 319 The Meet Night will be your opportunity to learn more about the organization and meet the Brothers of Epsilon Theta Chapter. (The same information will be presented at both, so you only need to attend one.) Eligible students will have at least 12 credit hours, a cumulative G.P.A. of 3.0 and at least two remaining semesters at Georgia Tech. If you are unable to attend the information meeting but are still interested, please e-mail tech.phisigmapi(a)gmail.com Check us out on cyberbuzz: www.cyberbuzz.gatech.edu/phisigmapi/ The Brothers of Phi Sigma Pi look forward to meeting you!

[UWAB] Women in Computing Conference Scholarship
by ecollums＠cc.gatech.edu 11 May '09

11 May '09

Hi All! If you're considering going to the Grace Hopper Conference this year, we encourage you to take advantage of the opportunity below---- Please let us know if you are awarded a scholarship by the Anita Borg Institute! ______________________________________________________________________________________ Student Scholarships from the Anita Borg Institute for the Grace Hopper Conference About the Scholarships GHC scholarships cover a combination of conference registration (which includes most meals), lodging, and fixed amount of travel reimbursement funds. The majority of scholarships are awarded to undergraduate and graduate students, however, junior faculty, members of non-governmental organizations, and non-profits are eligible to apply. In 2008, GHC student scholarships were made possible by generous donations from the National Science Foundation, GHC Academic Underwriters, Google, IBM, Amazon.com, Sun Microsystems, Salesforce.com, Microsoft, Goldman Sachs & Co., CA, Cisco, Intuit, Systers and the Anita Borg Institute Community. Preparing for the Application Process The GHC scholarship application process is now open. The deadline for application submissions is May 27, 2009 (Midnight CDT). You will be asked to submit an essay, résumé/CV, GPA (grade point average) & class rank and letter of reference (to be uploaded by your reference). Please note that only undergraduate and graduate students are required to submit a letter of reference. Submit your application<https://parasol.tamu.edu/celebrate/applicant/>. You can prepare for the scholarship application process by: 1. Consider participating in the conference. Although not guaranteed, the Scholarship Committee tries to award funding to scholarship applicants who have been selected to participate in the conference. The call for participation opens on January 17, 2009 and will close on March 16, 2009. You will not be allowed to apply to participate in the conference after the scholarship application process begins. 2. Find a faculty member to serve as a reference. You will be required to submit the name and contact information for your reference; they will receive an email with instructions for uploading your letter of reference. By identifying your reference writer early you will allow them more time to write you a thoughtful letter which will outline your leadership qualities, academic standing and interests as a technologist. 3. Seek out resources for additional funding. The Scholarship Committee takes into consideration applicants who have already obtained partial funding. This allows the committee to award more scholarships to deserving applicants from the pool of scholarship funds. Please review the Recommendations for Funding listed below to find ideas about seeking out additional funding. http://www.gracehopper.org/2009/participate/student-scholarships/ Elizabeth Collums Program Coordinator Office of Outreach, Enrollment and Community The College of Computing at Georgia Tech 801 Atlantic Drive Atlanta, GA 30332-0280

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

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.

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.

[UWAB] Relay For Life- Register TODAY!
by Pham, Candis E 10 Mar '09

10 Mar '09

Hey 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, 2008 at the CRC SAC fields. You must register by *THIS FRIDAY* in order to get a free t-shirt ^_^. If you are an organization leader, please forward this email to your group members. 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. For more information, please visit http://www.relay.gatech.edu/ or http://relay.acsevents.org/site/TR/RelayForLife/RelayForLifeSouthAtlanticDi….

[UWAB] Mafia Night - Success!
by Daniel Grim 02 Mar '09

02 Mar '09

Hey everyone! I just wanted to give everyone a shout out and say great job! Everyone I talked to said they had a great time, and really enjoyed themselves. We seemed to have just the right amount of food and drinks, and there were plenty of prizes to go around. I haven't counted the attendance yet, but I heard it was somewhere over the 60 mark, which is really good. Everyone did a great job with setup and cleanup, and it was a great experience working together (as usual!). Women and M@CC, thanks again for the prizes, the M@CCmovie pack, VIP Passes, and Nerf Guns were a hit. The next big event going down is Women's CoCeasers in about 3 weeks, so I hope everyone is ready to make this event bigger and better than the Tech Rec event.

[UWAB] PHP experience needed
by Sheila.Isbell＠gtri.gatech.edu 10 Feb '09

10 Feb '09

Hi, Do you have any PHP experience? I need your help (paid) to modify some opensource software for me written in PHP, there will be some database work, but not without instruction and guidance from me. Plus since you are dealing with existing code, you will have plenty of examples around you for how to do something. If you have a resume ready from the career fairs last week - great, if not, just write a paragraph about yourself (2-3 sentences) so we can talk from there. This work would ideally last from now (Spring) through the Summertime.

Hey gals, Women's Overnight is an event that brings accepted women to experience Georgia Tech for two days and one night.

If anyone is interested in hosting or showing the girls around, please send me the following information so I can plan out a schedule: - where you live (on campus only please!) - what your schedule is like on Monday - what classes you think they would enjoy on Monday - number of girls you think you can handle - if you are able to drive. For hosting situations, a couch or a mattress is ideal, but a floor is cool too! I'll be asking them to bring sleeping bags with them. If you're interested in answering questions, having fun, and meeting people, this is a great opportunity!

by ecollums＠cc.gatech.edu 14 Jan '09

14 Jan '09

FYI- Deadline Approaching for Applications Are you planning to submit NASA GSRP applications? GSRP general requirements NASA GSRP applications are due February 1, 2009. 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. Because Feb. 1 is the deadline for a lot of other programs, please have the proposals ready to submit as early as possible, preferably no later than January 23rd. Following is additional information that will be needed when completing the online application form. 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. Institutional authorizing official The institutional authorizing official or Authorized Organizational Representative (AOR) and contact information needed for the application is as follows: Janis L.

[UWAB] Relay For Life- CCB Student Orgs team!
by Pham, Candis E 13 Jan '09

13 Jan '09

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. For more information, please visit http://www.relay.gatech.edu/ or http://relay.acsevents.org/site/TR/RelayForLife/RelayForLifeSouthAtlanticDi….

13 Jan '09

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, 2008 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. For more information, please visit http://www.relay.gatech.edu/ or http://relay.acsevents.org/site/TR/RelayForLife/RelayForLifeSouthAtlanticDi…. Thanks, and have a great day! -- Candis Pham Women@CC- Chair Georgia Institute of Technology Computational Media

[UWAB] CRA-W's DREU
by ecollums＠cc.gatech.edu 12 Jan '09

12 Jan '09

Hi All, Please see below for a great opportunity: Hi Everyone: We are now soliciting summer 2009 applications for students and faculty mentors for the CRA-W/CDC Distributed Research Experiences for Undergraduates (DREU) Program (formally known as DMP). The announcement below describes the DREU program and provides links to the on-line student and mentor applications. Please help us spread the word by sending the announcement below to the undergraduate students in your department. We would appreciate you sending a broad announcement to all students in your department, AND a personal email to those students that you think would be a good fit for this program. (Personal encouragement definitely works best!) Please consider applying as a mentor yourself, and also please forward this announcement to potentially interested faculty - male and female. (Men have served as mentors since summer 2004. In fact, both both male and female mentors are needed for CDC students.) Thanks in advance for your help. Nancy Amato, Professor, Texas A&M University Co-Director, Distributed Research Experiences for Undergraduates (CDC) Tracy Camp, Professor, Colorado School of Mines Co-Director, Distributed Research Experiences for Undergraduates (CRA-W) Maria Gini, Professor, University of Minnesota Co-Director, Distributed Research Experiences for Undergraduates (CRA-W) +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ SUMMER 2009 PAID RESEARCH INTERNSHIPS FOR UNDERREPRESENTED STUDENTS via CRA-W/CDC DREU (DREU was known as the DMP from 1994-2008) Application Deadline February 15, 2009 The CRA-W/CDC Distributed Research Experiences for Undergraduates (DREU) Program is a highly selective program that matches promising undergraduates with a faculty mentor for a summer research experience at the faculty member's home institution. The objective of the DREU is to increase the number of women and students from underrepresented groups entering graduate studies in the fields of computer science and engineering. The DREU experience is invaluable for students who are considering graduate school, providing them with a close-up view of what graduate school is really like and also increasing their competitiveness as an applicant for graduate admissions and fellowships. Funding for the student consists of $6000 for the summer (10 weeks), plus relocation travel assistance when appropriate. Additional funds may be available to support student conference travel, either during the summer or afterward, and for outreach activities promoting the DREU. An on-line Application for students and faculty mentors, more information about DREU, and webpages authored by previous participants are available at: http://parasol.tamu.edu/dreu/ Application Deadline February 15, 2009 Awards Announced: mid-March 2009 Notes for faculty mentors regarding the DREU Program: * Cost sharing by faculty mentors is encouraged. The number of students interested in the DREU program has increased substantially over the last several years. To enable more students to participate, faculty are now encouraged to provide funds to support (partially or fully) students; the DREU will provide travel support for all students. * All interested faculty are eligible to be DREU mentors. All interested faculty are encouraged to apply as mentors. Nonetheless, based on the documented benefits of role models with similar gender or from similar demographic groups, it is anticipated that DREU funds will mostly be used to support students matched with mentors from groups underrepresented in computing. Hence, other mentors applying should attempt to provide full funding for their students' stipends (the program will provide travel support). For more information about the DREU, consult the DREU webpages http://parasol.tamu.edu/dreu/ or contact the DREU Co-Directors at dreu(a)cse.tamu.edu<mailto:dreu@cse.tamu.edu<http://cse.tamu.edu>> Nancy Amato, Professor, Texas A&M University Co-Director, Distributed Research Experiences for Undergraduates (CDC) Tracy Camp, Professor, Colorado School of Mines Co-Director, Distributed Research Experiences for Undergraduates (CRA-W) Maria Gini, Professor, University of Minnesota Co-Director, Distributed Research Experiences for Undergraduates (CRA-W) The Computing Research Association (CRA, http://cra.org <http://cra.org/> ) is an association of more than 180 North American academic departments of computer science and computer engineering; laboratories and centers in industry, government, and academia engaging in basic computing research; and affiliated professional societies.

[UWAB] Reminder: CC Women in Computing "Imposter Panel" Tomorrow
by ecollums＠cc.gatech.edu 09 Dec '08

09 Dec '08

What: "Impostor Panel" and Dinner with GradWomen@CC -Anyone Welcome! When: December 10th 4:00-5:30 (we'll start with the panel, so feel free to leave early if you have to) Where: GVU Cafe (2nd floor of the TSRB) Jill Dimond and Lana Yarosh will be moderating a discussion panel with three successful Georgia Tech women: * Amy Bruckman is a tenured faculty member leading multiple successful research initiatives * Andrea Thomaz is in her second year as a faculty member at this top-tier research institution * Nova Ahmed has recently successfully completed her Ph.D. proposal Each of these women has achieved impressive milestones in academia. Yet, sometimes they share a strange feeling -- a fear that others will discover that they are not really as accomplished as they seem on paper! Have you ever felt this way? If you have ever felt that your successes are due more to luck than actual achievement or skill, that you will be discovered to be a "fraud," or that you're not really cut out for this grad school thing, you are NOT alone! Inspired from a similar panel at the Grace Hopper Conference, others have also experienced this phenomenon (known as the "Impostor Syndrome"<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impostor_syndrome>). Come have dinner with other women in the college, join in the discussion, and share strategies for coping with this insidious syndrome! Please RSVP jpdimond(a)cc.gatech.edu<mailto:jpdimond@cc.gatech.edu> by Monday 12/8 if you will be joining us for dinner so that we can get enough food for everybody!

13 Nov '08

Dear Students, Would you like a flexible part-time job that pays you to help introduce students to computing? Do you have at least 5 hours a week (most weeks) that you can work? I am looking to hire Computer Science or Computational Media majors who are responsible and outgoing to help us change attitudes about computing. As you know there are not enough women, African Americans, or Hispanics in computing and the Institute for Computing Education (ICE) is trying to battle the negative stereotypes about computing by holding computing workshops with the Girl Scouts, YWCA, Cool Girls, Boys and Girls Clubs, and more. Last year over 1600 girls got some introduction to computing with us. Our evaluation efforts show that even with a 4-hour workshop we can change girl's attitudes towards computing in a positive way. We have found that PicoCrickets, which are an arts and crafts kit for the digital age, result in the highest number of statistically significant changes in attitudes towards computing. We also use Scratch, Alice, and LEGO Mindstorms robot kits in our workshops. We are also planning workshops with wearable computers, scribbler robots, and web development. We pay for the time it takes to learn how to run the workshops, set-up time, clean-up time, and any travel time. We pay between $10 and $18 an hour, depending on what year of school (by hours) you are in. We are most in need of people who can drive and can work from 3:30pm - 6:30pm. But, we also have workshops at Georgia Tech on Saturdays and Sundays from 10am - 2pm. To apply please send your resume and references to Felicia (Auzla) Brewster at fauzla(a)cc.gatech.edu<mailto:fauzla@cc.gatech.edu>.

[UWAB] Spooktacular- Great Job and Thanks!
by Pham, Candis E 31 Oct '08

31 Oct '08

Hey everyone! Great job last night! We had over 100 people sign in and not a bit of food left over. We even had a group of Rockband players that didn't want to leave! I would definitely give props to ESP for having a couple of the most creative stations and SAB for using big, real pumpkins and still managing to not make a mess. I wanted to give a special thanks to everyone who donated items such as Jeanie Choi who donated 50 apples from when her family went apple picking and others who lent us crop pots, Rockband, a grill, extension cords, and so much more. To everyone who came and helped staff the event, you're absolutely awesome! For pictures from the event, we will have pictures on the Women@CC website (http://women.cc.gatech.edu/) soon! Again, thanks everyone! We couldn't have done it without you. -- Candis Pham B.S. Computational Media Georgia Institute of Technology Women@CC- Chair

[UWAB] Call for help: WAM's Vagina Monologues Audition
by Pham, Candis E 29 Oct '08

29 Oct '08

Hey everyone! It's Steph Yang here and I'm also a part of Women's Awareness Month (next March). We're trying to put on the Vagina Monologues again this year and we're really needing some help with it. So, if you're interested or know someone who might be interested in being a part of the cast or doing some work behind the scenes, I've attached an application to this e-mail. The girl in charge is Jane Wong, so if you want more information e-mail her at jane.wong(a)gatech.edu or myself at steph.yang(a)gatech.edu. If you have no idea what Vagina Monologues is, it's pretty much a play of a series of monologues read by women. They all relate to the vagina in some way or form be it through sex, rape, menstration, etc. It is a very controversial play due to the nature of the subject but I've also heard it's a very powerful one as well. It's also very humorous. So, even if you're not interested in being a part of the cast, look up some YouTube videos of it. http://cyberbuzz.gatech.edu/wam/ Thanks for your time! -- Stephanie Yang Georgia Institute of Technology Computational Media Cell: 404.510.8885 steph.yang(a)gatech.edu

Good morning girls! Don't forget that if you want to submit a t-shirt design for the Grace Hopper Conference this year, we need your designs ASAP (aka today or tomorrow at the latest) There's no real constraint for the designs besides just to show that we're from GT. Last year's design [I <3 Computing] was even used for t-shirts throughout the CoC after Grace Hopper, so who knows how far your design could go! You don't have to be going to the GHC to send in a design. Feel free to email me at cpham3(a)gatech.edu if you have any questions or concerns.

[UWAB] Assessment
by Pham, Candis E 11 Sep '08

11 Sep '08

Hey everyone! Sorry for so many emails at once, but this should be the last one... for now =D. Anyways, one of the new things in the College of Computing are assessments for every event. These not only help find the pros and cons of an event, but with the new budget cut, these prove to the Dean that these events are good for the organization and allow us to keep hosting them in the future if they are successful. With that said, if you had attended Wednesday (9/10) night's Women@CC Kick-off event, please click below to fill out a quick survey. Your feedback is very important to us. http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=suAxloYpyC_2bhBQTE5Xy7CQ_3d_3d Thanks, and have a great day! -- Candis Pham B.S.

[UWAB] Amazing job opportunity!
by Pham, Candis E 02 Sep '08

02 Sep '08

Good morning girls! Look below for an amazing job opportunity! I had worked with Barb Ericson this past summer and had a wonderful time. It's a great way to inspire girls to learn more about computing, and to find that computing can be fun! Anyways, check it out. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Thanks and have a great day! (@)_)-.--;--- Candis Pham Women@CC- Chair B.S. Computational Media ==================== A message from Barb Ericson =========================== Dear Students, Would you like a flexible part-time job that pays you to help introduce students to computing? Do you have at least 5 hours a week (most weeks) that you can work? I am looking to hire Computer Science or Computational Media majors who are responsible and outgoing to help us change attitudes about computing. I am also looking for people who just want to volunteer to help. We will be running 15 four-hour workshops with the Girl Scouts this year as well as seven one-hour sessions at Girl Scout camps. See http://coweb.cc.gatech.edu/ice-gt/637 for the dates. As you know there are not enough women, African Americans, or Hispanics in computing and the Institute for Computing Education (ICE) is trying to battle the negative stereotypes about computing by holding computing workshops with the Girl Scouts, YWCA, Cool Girls, Boys and Girls Clubs, and more. Last year over 1300 girls got some introduction to computing with us. Our evaluation efforts show that even with a 4-hour workshop we can change girl's attitudes towards computing in a positive way. We have found that PicoCrickets, which are an arts and crafts kit for the digital age, result in the highest number of statistically significant changes in attitudes towards computing. We also use Scratch, Alice, and LEGO Mindstorms robot kits in our workshops. We pay for the time it takes to learn how to run the workshop, set-up time, clean-up time, and any travel time. Most of the workshops are here at Georgia Tech, but we do also go to some Girl Scout camps. We pay between $10 and $18 an hour, depending on what year of school you are in. For more information or to apply please contact Barbara Ericson (ericson(a)cc.gatech.edu) Thank You, Barb Ericson

[UWAB] FW: [webmasters] Student help needed

If you are looking for work this semester.... :o) Alicia ________________________________________ From: Alex Agle [alex.agle(a)oit.gatech.edu] Sent: Wednesday, August 13, 2008 5:35 PM To: webmasters(a)lists.gatech.edu Subject: [webmasters] Student help needed Hi webmasters! Background: OIT has a Distributed Support program, where we hire a fulltime IT person to work in a campus department. Usually that person is busy supporting the department and does not have much time left over to maintain that department's website. Departments are sometimes left to hire temporary help to maintain their websites, and the knowledge transfer of website maintenance is sometimes lost between one person and the next. As a solution, OIT is looking to hire a couple of student assistants to do web development work. The student assistants will have some fulltime employee oversight to maintain continuity and knowledge transfer. Initially, we will focus on projects related to departments participating in the OIT Distributed Support program. If this is successful, we may offer website development and maintenance services to other campus units. In order to begin this project, I'm looking for a couple of student assistants to get the ball rolling. Ideally, they would have some previous website experience and have HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, PERL, image manipulation, and SQL skills. Previous experience using PHP and PERL to access Oracle or mySQL databases is a plus. Experience with the Zend Framework is also a plus. We're looking for students who can fit approximately 20 hours a week into their schedule. Please have any interested students contact me via email or phone. Thanks!

by Pham, Candis E 17 Jul '08

17 Jul '08

Good morning girls!! I hope everyone is having a wonderful summer! I can't believe we only have a month left. However, Boot-up (freshman orientation) is quickly approaching (Friday, August 15; Time TBD) and I need your help. We've been granted permission to pull all of the girls aside and do something special for W@CC recruitment, but we're not sure how many Women@CC members will be there or what to do. Please click on the following link (http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=7XmibksjNj0twNegVyEggA_3d_3d) to answer this REALLY short survey so we can get started on planning for our role in Boot-up. Please feel free to send me an email (cpham3(a)gatech.edu) if you have any questions or comments. Thank you so much! Have a great day! (@)_)-.--;--- Candis Pham Women@CC Chair B.S.

[UWAB] FREE Pizza: Joomla Pizza, Bugs & Fun TOMORROW!!!!
by Sweta 27 Jun '08

27 Jun '08

Georgia Tech has been selected as the official venue for Joomla's Pizza, Bugs, and Fun event, so come join, participate, and enjoy some free food, coding, and fun! Joomla (http://www.joomla.org) who is participating in Google Summer of Code, is sponsoring the event *this Saturday, from 2-4PM,* called "Pizza, Bugs, and Fun" (http://docs.joomla.org/Pizza_Bugs_and_Fun_2) in the *Library East Commons*. It's basically a code fest to address the outstanding issues with the current release, including bug fixes and documentation rollout. Participants can devote as little as an hour or the whole 3 hours. *Participants don't necessarily need to be familiar with the Joomla code base*, just fairly proficient in PHP, though the former is certainly a plus. Also, people are needed for documentation, so *strict coding skills is also not a requisite*. Everybody is encouraged to attend and learn: deep knowledge of the system is not a requirement, since quite a bit of learning goes on during the event. This article ( http://developer.joomla.org/home/26-coordinator-blog/147-the-best-ingredien…) covers all the details necessary. Set-up will take place from 1:30 to 1:45, so that development work can start at 2PM. There will be a team picture taken at 2PM, so don't miss out! Please feel free to forward this message onto people who you think would be interested in participating. If you are interested in participating or want additional information, please contact Shannon Quinn (squinn(a)gatech.edu) We hope to see you there!

[UWAB] Google + Joomla: Pizza, Bugs, and Fun :)
by Sweta 17 Jun '08

17 Jun '08

Joomla (http://www.joomla.org) who is participating in Google Summer of Code, is sponsoring an event during the next two weekends called "Pizza, Bugs, and Fun." (http://docs.joomla.org/Pizza_Bugs_and_Fun_2) It's basically a code fest to address the outstanding issues with the current release, including bug fixes and documentation rollout. Participants can devote an hour, or entire weekends. The gist is that, with enough interest, GT would become a official "venue" for the event, a central location that anyone in the area interested in joining can meet and participate. * Participants don't necessarily need to be familiar with the Joomla code base *, just fairly proficient in PHP, though the former is certainly a plus. Also, people are needed for documentation, so *strict coding skills is also not a requisite*. If you are interested in participating, please contact Shannon Quinn ( squinn(a)gatech.edu) We hope to see you there!
