Hey GWiCS,

We hope you had a solid end to the semester and are enjoying a well-earned break after a whole year of online school... you did it! 😎🌞💯

Our election results are in - congratulations to the new 2021-2022 GWiCS exec team:

* Julia Hohenadel and Mary Bergin as Co-Presidents * Leen Al-Jallad as Events Manager * Lara Ezzeddine as Marketing Manager * Sophie Mlodzik as Financial Manager

With this stellar team, including two returning execs and three new ones, we're so excited for what the future has in store for GWiCS. This year's election had the most applicants ever, with amazing candidates and a high voter turnout... so thanks everyone for showing up. And if you missed the opportunity to join the team, don’t worry - stay tuned for the chance to become a GWiCS year rep in the Fall!

Here's an upcoming event for SOCS students: The BCOMP discord server is hosting its first ever hackathon - BCOMPATHON - from May 28th to 30th! In partnership with Distributed Compute Labs, the hackathon features two main challenges: the Discord bot challenge, and the DCP challenge. The prize pool includes $450 and several other server prizes, plus the first-place winner of the Discord bot challenge will have their bot deployed on the server (looks great on your resume)! If you're interested in participating and want to hear more, join the BCOMP server at https://discord.gg/9ZzgMJS9ES and stay tuned for more information in the #announcements channel. If you have any questions, you can email Aysu at agundoga@uoguelph.camailto:agundoga@uoguelph.ca.

Lastly, we would like to say thank you and farewell to our graduating Marketing Manager, @Ellen Brownmailto:ebrown16@uoguelph.ca! Ellen has been involved with GWiCS since the club's beginning and has been such an important part of the team, often stepping outside of her role to help plan and run events for the club. Ellen - a massive thank you for all the event posters, Instagram posts and Saturday afternoons you have given to GWiCS over the last few years. You will be missed!

That's all from me. I hope you all have a safe and happy summer - it's been a tough year all around, so make sure you take some time to recharge! 🌞🌞🌞

All the best,

Maddie G
