13 Jul '21

Hello programs, Here are a few announcements for July. Join CSC for Alt-Tab, an event that consists of 10-15 minute talks by students on some interesting topics in the field of tech! Some topics that students have delivered talks on include virtual reality, pathfinding, web development, and competitive programming. The event will be hosted virtually at the end of July! Currently, we are looking for speakers for the event who are passionate about tech and want to gain some public-speaking experience. We would love to hear from everyone! Apply at https://bit.ly/csc-alt-tab-speaker-application ! Alternatively, you can also email us at exec(a)csclub.uwaterloo.ca with an outline of your topic. Application Deadline: Thursday, July 15th at 11:59pm ET. ------ CSC's next Afterhours is here! Afterhours is a series where we get the opportunity to dive into uncomfortable topics and share our experiences, as well as tips and tricks on how to overcome these problems. It's unfortunately common to feel burnt out and exhausted, especially at this point in the term. This Afterhours will be a discussion about recognizing burnout, recovering from burnout, and preventing it from occurring. Speakers will share their personal stories, and the conversation will be open for all participants to discuss and share their own experiences. Event Date: Saturday July 17th, 8:00- 9:00pm ET via Zoom Zoom Link: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/83131978922?pwd=Tm1NLzgraGZ2U1VCQVpDSFZxbGpSdz09 ------ There will be a planned power outage in MC Saturday, July 17 from 7:00 am to 9:00 pm. Most CSC services will be unavailable during this time. CSC machines will be powered off one hour before the outage begins, at 6:00 am. Please prepare for the outage by: * Ensuring all running processes have their state saved (configuration, data, etc.) * Any important files are backed up off-site from the CSC -- Neil Parikh Treasurer, UWaterloo CSC
