Hello GWiCS members,
Hopefully everyone is managing to stay warm! We are going to have our next meeting on Tuesday, February 12th, at 5:30pm in SSC 1504. We will be doing some club announcements and then we are going to let everyone use the room as a study space for the time we have it booked (until 7:30pm). We will be supplying hot chocolate and snacks! It could be a good opportunity to study with people who are in the same classes as you, or get some help from someone who has already taken them.
Also, below is an email forward from Google. It contains information about some upcoming Youtube Live Sessions, coding competitions, and job opportunities. Take a look!
Sincerely,
From: Tech Students at Google <techstudents@google.com>
