Hello ladies! Just wanted to let y'all know I am currently co-oping for a company called Optimus Solutions, based out of Norcross, GA. Optimus provides technical solutions for companies, meaning they provide hardware as well as software as well as consulting on technical infrastructure, business process, disaster recovery, web development, etc. They are basically the total package when it comes to a technical firm in today's world. They are an incredible company - last year they got voted the 6th best place to work in Atlanta, and they are growing at an exponential rate. What does that mean? That means that they are frantic to hire people in almost every area of the spectrum. Here are just some of the things they need: Account Development Manager Account Executive - Chicago Account Executive - Denver Assistant Sales Representative Cisco Broker Cisco Engineer Communications Specialist Contract Renewals Assistant Customer Account Manager Defective Inventory Coordinator End User Sales Representative Executive Administrative Assistant Help Desk Support IBM Compliance Manager Intel/HP Engineer Interactive Marketing Specialist Inventory Manager IT Project Manager Lead Receiving Clerk Lotus Notes Domino Developer Marketing Director Marketing Intern MicroSoft.Net Consultant Middleware Consultant Oracle Sales Representative Quality Control Specialist Sales Operations Director Senior Lotus Consultant Senior Middleware Consultant Shipping Clerk Storage Engineer Sun Engineer Tivoli Storage Manager AIX Consultant As you can see, they need Management, Industrial Engineer, Comp E, and Comp Science majors in the areas of accounting, sales, marketing, operations, hardware, and software development. They have locations here, in Tampa, in Denver, and in Chicago, and keep expanding. I love working for Optimus and I think you will too! In conclusion, if you are at all interested in possibly having an internship, co-op, or full time position with Optimus, shoot me your resume, even if you don't know what positions you would apply for. Let me know if you have any questions! xoxo, Jordan -- Jordan Garner Optimus Solutions jordang(a)gatech.edu jgarner(a)optimussolutions.com (443)280-3164

Hey girls! I just want to update yall on what is going on with Pumpkin Palooza. We have nixed the charity raffle because we couldn't decide what we wanted to raffle off and we had a limited list of things we could do. Heather, how are the gift certificate/prize donations going? Also, any one is welcome to bake stuff for the bake sale. We also need popcorn and drinks that are not going to be sold. Jordan and I will take care of that and decorations. Sunday afternoon we will need to get together to start decorating the commons and CoC, we will also need to finish posters for our booths and make sure we have all the supplies needed for the booths including small prizes, candy, balloons, etc. If yall can help out on Sunday afternoon that would be great. I will email you later this week with a time and place. Also, I realized that I have a test Monday from 8-10 so I will only be able to stay until 8 but I will be there before to help set-up and I will try to get back as quickly as possible from my test. Alicia and Jordan will be there to make sure things run smoothly. I hope yall are getting excited! Jennifer

Hey girls! I think it would be great if we could all get together on Saturday night for dinner to welcome the new girls and catch up. Laura and I were thinking Figo. It's a pasta place close to campus and not too expensive. We will provide rides. So if you have a car bring it, if not we will find a place for you in a car. I will definitly drive and I think Laura is planning on driving too. Plan on meeting around 6 at the CoC. If you're interested let me know, and I will try to call ahead. I hope to see you all there!!

Hey girls! I was just wondering if anyone had the book for CS 1050 or HPS 1040. If so, I'm willing to buy them from you or just borrow them if you want to keep them. Also, I have books for LCC 2400. They might not be the same this semester as this past summer but if you're interested let me know. Thanks, Jennifer

[UWAB] When you're feel a little down...
by Kathy Pham 20 Jul '06

20 Jul '06

Hey Ladies, My boyfriend sent this to me and it made my day. :) *LIKE A BANK ACCOUNT* ** *A 92-year-old, petite, well-poised and proud man, who is fully dressed each morning by eight o'cl ock, with his hair fashionably coifed and shaved perfectly, even though he is legally blind, moved to a nursing home today. His wife of 70 years recently passed away, making the move necessary. After many hours of waiting patiently in the lobby of the nursing home, he smiled sweetly when told his room was ready. **As he maneuvered his walker to the elevator, I provided a visual description of his tiny room, including the eyelet sheets that had been hung on his window. "I love it," he stated with the enthusiasm of an eight-year-old having just been presented with a new puppy. "Mr. Jones, you haven't seen the room; just wait." "That doesn't h ave anything to do with it," he replied. "Happiness is something you decide on ahead of time. Whether I like my room or not doesn't depend on how the furniture is arranged ... it's how I arrange my mind. I already decided to love it. It's a decision I make every morning when I wake up. I have a choice; I can spend the day in bed recounting the difficulty I have with the parts of my body that no longer work, or get out of bed and be thankful for the ones that do. Each day is a gift, and as long as my eyes open, I'll focus on the new day and all the happy memories I've stored away. Just for this time in my life. Old age is like a bank account. You withdraw from what you've put in. So, my advice to you would be to deposit a lot of happiness in the bank account of memories! Thank you for your part in filling my Memory bank. I am still depositing." * *Remember the five simple rules to be happy: 1. Free your heart from hatred. 2. Free your mind from worries. 3. Live simply. 4. Give more. 5. Expect less.*

Folks - Please fwd this to the executive members of your respective orgs. This is just a reminder. Each organization should submit a budget that will help uCouncil gage how to spend the shared account balance. This budget process should also be good to help organizations plan for the rest of the semester, and we need to refine this process because we will do something similar for 2006/2007. We don't have any formal rules yet for the quality of the budgets, but it would be better if you are as specific as possible when naming items on the spreadsheet. I have attached a simple template that you may use to get started. All organizations that want fund allocations should submit the budget via email to me by noon Thursday. I will merge them and have printed copies available for review at the meeting. If you are unable to turn around a budget in this time frame (because your organization is unable to meet or there is no proper process in the organization for this kind of outside funding), please let me know asap so that we can figure out something fair.

In addition, students without a CoC account may bring their laptops and utilize the LAWN wireless network to connect to the TopCoder website.

I'll be there today and we need to discuss a strategy for recruiting from the Undeclared pool of admitted women! Most of them have no idea what computing is and have not thought about that possibility. How can we entice them to consider us??? There are at least 200 undeclared women who have been admitted to GT for the fall - so we do have an opportunity here. Please bring your ideas. See you there!

[UWAB] Participants Needed
by Michelle Kitaoka 20 Feb '06

20 Feb '06

Ladies, Please, consider participating in Kristin Vadas' user study. So far, she has few female participants. Here are three good reasons for participating: 1. To start designing programs with women in mind, women need to participate in user studies. 2. You would gain a little more exposure to research as an undergraduate, which you may find helpful when conducting your own research. 3. You would be helping an active leader and alumni from the uwomen@ccgroup. If you are interested, please email Kristin at vadas(a)cc.gatech.edu These are the times she will be running studies: 21-Feb 9:00 AM 21-Feb 3:00 PM 21-Feb 6:30 PM 21-Feb 8:00 PM 21-Feb 9:30 PM Thanks, Michelle

All expenses are paid for. Georgia Tech just got invited to the conference, so it is a quick turn around. The deadline is Feb 6th! The description and application is attached. ****************************************************************************** The Center for Ethical Leadership in the Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs at the University of Texas is hosting one of the premier student leadership conferences in the United States on March 2-5, 2006.

Attendance at the conference is by invitation only and will be limited to 160 students from universities and colleges across the United States and Mexico to facilitate small group learning in teams of 12-15 students. Georgia Tech is permitted to send four students to the conference. The conference will be a fast-paced, intense experience featuring a blend of great speakers, small-group workshops, and opportunities for informal discussions with peers about leadership and important issues. The expectation is that you will use what you have learned and you will be asked after the conference to write a one-page summary of how the conference was valuable for you and will assist you in your role as a leader at Georgia Tech. CRITERIA The conference organizers prefer an equal number of men and women who are currently sophomores or juniors so you can use what you have learned at the conference in your role as a leader at Georgia Tech. Please type your answers on this form and send it to Dr. Phillip M. Thompson, Director of Leadership Education and Programs, phillip.thompson(a)vpss.gatech.edu or Room 217 Student Affairs.

My co-chair and I had our first meeting last night and you came to mind when talking about the website (which is www.techbeautificationday.org) and I was wondering if you would be interested in being our "Webmaster." Basically this would consist of possibly reformatting our website, keeping it up-to-date, making it possible to have online applications, etc. If you aren't interested or are to busy this semester, is there anyone else you know that would be interested and that you would recommend? Let me know! Thanks, Jennifer -- ----- End forwarded message ----- -- Laura Parker gtg377b(a)mail.gatech.edu

Hey- This is from one of my group members. I can't go, but in case any of you are interested, the information is all here. Sorry to those of you who get this several times. -Laura Laura Parker gtg377b(a)mail.gatech.edu ----- Original Message ----- From: Joy Wu To: Laura Parker Sent: Monday, January 16, 2006 10:12 PM Subject: Re: CoC Advisory Board The reason I asked was because I am on the Georgia Tech Relay For Life Exec Team. (In case you don't know what Relay For Life is, it's American Cancer Society's biggest fundraising event each year. (www.relay.gatech.edu) There was a team last year called Women @ CC and I didn't know if you were on it. We're having a kickoff Party Tuesday (Jan. 17) @ Junior's Grill behind Tech Tower at 6pm. There will be discounted Junior's food and I was hoping you would join us and maybe invite the CoC advisory board to see if you guys would be interested in forming a team! Relay is an all night event with food, entertainment, inflatables, games, tournaments, friends and an awesome cause. It'll be a lot of fun so you should definetly come and check out the kickoff party for more info! Thanks! Joy -- Joy Wu Industrial and Systems Enginnering Georgia Tech

[UWAB] Dead Week and Threads
by Biggers, Maureen Short 05 Dec '05

05 Dec '05

This is a TERRIBLE time for most students, but I was just asked to conduct a focus group with undergrads to get reactions to the program that is about to be submitted to the university wide curriculum committee (scheduled to go before the committee this Thursday!). Merrick does not want it to go forward without getting feedback from the students and the working group that put the final requirements together did not get to that step in the process. SO....I'm putting out a call for help on this one. Who can commit some time to this in the next 2 days? Here is what it will involve: 1. Reviewing a 10 page document that briefly explains the concept of Threads and then presents non-CS and CS prerequisites for each of the 8 new threads. 2. I can then give you access to the working site that gets more specific in terms of identified GT electives that will compliment each thread. 3. We then need to hold a meeting to discuss such things as the actual names of the threads, your perceptions of strengths and weaknesses to this approach, etc. This could be 1.5 - 2 hours, with food. IF you are up to this, please let me know right away so I can send you the information. Also include time you are able to meet Tuesday (or Wednesday morning at the latest). Thanks for everything. Maureen

It takes just a moment :-) Good Morning, I hope you will take a few moments and send some holiday cheer to our Yellow Jackets stationed around the world by logging onto: http://gtalumni.org/site/MailForm/HolidayGreetingForm and send your holiday greeting to our deployed Georgia Tech Alumni! We currently have alumni stationed in Turkey, Korea, on a nuclear submarine and several in Iraq who will be spending this holiday season overseas. Most of our deployed men and women graduated from Georgia Tech within the past 5 years and being away from home is difficult- especially over the holidays. The greetings from students, faculty, staff, parents, alumni and friends of Tech will be compiled and sent to our alumni along with a holiday card. I am attaching a .pdf of what the pages of greetings will look like when sent to our Yellow Jackets. We only have one more week to get as many greetings as we can so please forward this email to your Tech contacts!
