Hey CSC, Just a reminder that we have a talk today in MC 4020 @ 6pm. The Most Important Parts of School (from a CS dropout)Hindsight is 20/20, and since leaving university David Wolever has had five years and three startups to reflect on the most valuable things that he had (and hadn’t) taken away from his time in school. David studied computer science for three years at the University of Toronto before leaving to be employee zero at a Waterloo-based startup. Since then he has been a founder of two more startups, started PyCon Canada, and has written hundreds of thousands of lines of code. He is currently CTO of Akindi, a Toronto-based startup trying to make multiple choice testing a bit less terrible. He’s best found on Twitter at twitter.com/wolever. You can find more information about the event at csclub.uwaterloo.ca/events/, and an ICS file can containing all of our events can be found at csclub.uwaterloo.ca/events.ics. Also, the CSC is going outside again this Friday @ 7:30. Come relax and eat snacks in good company at the Laurel Creek Fire Pit. If you have any comments or questions, email me! Thanks, IfazSecretary, CSC

Come throw frisbees, relax and eat snacks in good company - even if you aren't a fan of the outside or vitamin-D deficient! We’ll also have some sort of real food - probably pizza.
