Hi GWiCS! Thanks to everyone who came out to our first meeting on Tuesday, so nice to see your faces! We attached the slides if you couldn't make it 👍 A few things: * Our first event is coming up - the "GWiCS Resume Toast" is Wednesday Oct 7th at 6:30pm! Like a roast... but nicer. Our SoCS co-op advisors will be "toasting" some resumes and answering all your "burning" questions about job applications. Submit your resume to gwics(a)uoguelph.ca<mailto:gwics@uoguelph.ca> by Friday Oct 2nd for the chance to have it "lightly toasted" during the event. Please remove your name/contact info. This event is open to ALL computing students, with a raffle prize for attending! * Our virtual GWiCS Study Sessions start next week! The first session is Wednesday Sept 30th from 5:30 - 7pm (we will alternate weekly between Tuesdays/Wednesdays). These are open to GWiCS members only. Drop in to hang out with us, study together, get homework help from upper year students, have some human contact, etc! Meeting link: https://meet.google.com/hgv-gxtx-ynw * Looking for some extra hours of work? Please contact Dr. Rozita Dara if you're interested in this opportunity: It’s National Philanthropy Day coming up in November, and we are brainstorming some ideas of what we can do with donors to Guelph. I was looking for someone we could hire to develop a simple puzzle for us? I was thinking about a beautiful campus photo flipped around and divided into squares, where a square is revealed with every correct question answered…which leads finally to disclosure of full image. Thanks for reading - have a great weekend! Maddie & Mary GWiCS Leaders [cid:78eeacb2-3dc8-4d24-8cd3-9ed59a31ca0e]
