Hi Execs!
I'm reaching out to introduce myself and potentially share part-time
internship opportunities with interested students. I'm currently completing
my MBA at MIT Sloan and am a past Queen's grad. With that said, I'm a fan
of Waterloo CS! I'm always looking for students interested in software
development and entrepreneurship and wanted to connect with the club.
One of the opportunities I was hoping you could help distribute with
interested students can be found here
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1buwKO3HKQPKqqEk5W8eWBEJkUXQIJ2uCFnlP4xGFEa0/edit>.
I'd love to connect with someone on your team - please let me know!
Cheers,
Annie

Hi,
Hope this email finds you well! I'm the Campus Recruiter at Flinks. We're
launching the recruitment for our fall internship program, and I thought
I'd reach to see if I can help spread the word to your Engineering
students. We will be hosting a virtual information session on May 31th at

Flinks is the leading Canadian data connectivity company. Fintechs like
WealthSimple and KOHO use us, as well as many of the bigger financial
institutions in the country. We are actively looking for software developer
interns. Maybe this could be a great opportunity for your engineers, and
I'd be happy to connect with you over the phone to answer any questions you
may have.
I have enclosed our information kit to share with your engineers, or for
you to get more information about our program and what we can offer. Here
are the links to our information session :

Subject: [exec]M.Sc. student position
I'm looking for a student for a *fully-funded* M.Sc. position in
Computer Science at the University of Calgary starting in September.
The minimum grad GPA admission requirements (3.3 in the last two years)
would need to be met.
It'd need to be a Canadian (i.e., non-international) applicant due to
logistics around timing and deadlines. The project involves reverse
engineering of retro computer games: building tools and analyzing results,
and working with interesting people in disciplines outside CS. A good
candidate would enjoy low-level work, be good at writing, and work well
independently as well as in a team.
Interested? Contact John Aycock (aycock(a)ucalgary.ca).
