From horton at cs.virginia.edu Tue Jan 3 20:48:51 2006 From: horton at cs.virginia.edu (Tom Horton) Date: Thu Mar 23 11:27:36 2006 Subject: [Ugrads07] Reminder: Spring 06 ugrad TAs/graders needed! Message-ID: <43BB2983.607@cs.virginia.edu> Reminder: If you're interested in being a TA or grader for a CS course this spring, you can still apply. Instructors won't start looking at applications until next week, so get your updated info entered into the web-applicaton system (see the link in the message below) if you want to apply. Also: If you listed the grades for any of your courses on the application as "in progress" and want to update those, go right ahead -- log into the system and change the grades for those courses. NOTE: If you do this, you must replace the text you entered in two places: "instructor asked you to apply" and "any additional comments/info". You can also add additional courses that you might want to TA. (You can't remove courses that you no long want to TA for, unfortunately.)

Would greatly appreciate one returning keys no longer needed (and of course getting the deposit back). thanks much and have a great day, ginny hilton From horton at cs.virginia.edu Thu Jan 26 15:10:25 2006 From: horton at cs.virginia.edu (Tom Horton) Date: Thu Mar 23 11:27:36 2006 Subject: [Ugrads07] talk on computing & social problems, Feb. 2, 3:30 pm Message-ID: <43D92CB1.4080909@cs.virginia.edu> [The following talk is part of the CS290/CS390 speaker's series, but all students and faculty are invited to attend.] Title: Saving the World with a Computer Science Degree Speaker: Portman Wells, Say Ahh Systems When and Where: Thursday, February 2, 3:30-4:20 pm, MEC 205 There are hundreds of organizations using technology to fight poverty, disease, and inequality. They all need the help of talented computer scientists. Portman Wills, a 2002 alum, will share stories from projects in South America, Africa, and Asia and will then present five case studies: 1.
