Hey GWiCS - we have some exciting updates to wrap up the week!
🗳 Want to be part of our awesome exec team next school year? Our 2021-2022 elections are coming up and we would love to see you apply! This is a great chance to get involved in SOCS, make new friends, and add something cool to your resume. If you're interested in being our Events Manager, Financial Manager, Marketing Manager, or a Co-President, head over to linktr.ee/guelphwics<http://linktr.ee/guelphwics> to view a description of each position and apply. Applications close March 31st, and voting will take place in April. Any female or non-binary SOCS student is welcome to apply.
📣 Merch alert!!! It was a tight race - but the winner of our merch design contest is Aysu Gundogan with her beautiful drawing of Reynolds, our home away from home! Congrats Aysu, and thanks to everyone who submitted designs - we loved them all!
While we would normally bulk order and distribute the merch on campus, this year due to COVID you can purchase anything you like from our Redbubble shop and have it shipped directly to you. Shipping to Guelph is under $6 for clothing orders but can go up to $20 if you order different combinations of items. In an effort to make this as cheap as possible for students, we have removed the markup on all items (so we're not profiting off the sales).
Click here<https://www.redbubble.com/shop/ap/72506964?ref=studio-promote> to view & purchase our merch - you can rep GWiCS on t-shirts, hoodies, sweaters, stickers, mugs, socks and more!

Please email us if you have any questions - and have an awesome weekend!

Hey GWiCS,
The results are in - it was a super tight race, but congratulations to Aysu Gündogan for winning our merch design contest with her beautiful drawing of Reynolds! We'll be making our merch (including stickers, sweaters/hoodies and t-shirts) available through Redbubble in the next couple weeks - so stay tuned.
Our International Women's Day Celebration is this Sunday March 8 from 2-3pm. There will be professors, students, and industry professionals from Guelph and beyond at the event to share their stories and celebrate all things women-in-computing! Attendees will be automatically entered into a raffle to win a free piece of GWiCS merch or a gift card to your favourite coffee shop ☕ RSVP here<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScsAOlhKbPXtPzn126yNbsusBidmVqnlxk…>.
Lastly, GWiCS is hosting a coding workshop on Saturday March 13th from 1-3pm for the Guelph Girl Guides. We're looking for 5 more volunteers to help out at the event - if you're free that afternoon, we would super appreciate the help! Please add your name to this sheet<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1bUwQv_zA4rrUl2ZoqLLKfoq3E1PSUpHaPgI…> if you're interested and we'll add you to the slack group 😊
Thanks a million!
