CALL FOR MEMBER TALKS ---

Is there something that you're particularly passionate about and would like to share with others? Do you want to practice presenting on a topic of interest to the membership? We are accepting proposals for member talks for the Fall 2013 term. Tell us about a project you're really passionate about, or perhaps a theoretical problem you find interesting. In particular, we are holding a series of security and privacy lectures on Tuesdays, so if you have a topic along those lines, make sure you let us know!

Please send a proposed abstract and some possible talk dates to progcom@csclub.uwaterloo.ca and we will get to work on getting your talk scheduled.

Hope to see you there! More details are forthcoming. Good luck with your upcoming midterms,
