This is the main page for CSS, a student organization at Cal Poly Pomona meant to appeal to fans of computer science (by some coincidence, many of our members also major in that).
If you're new, you can learn more by clicking around a bit. Get to it. If you're not new, you're probably not reading this, which means that I can say mean things about you. I won't, though. I care too much to do that.
Congratulations to this year's CSS executive board! We have a good year ahead of us!
Science Council E-board
The Science Council have elected most of their executive board (as of last meeting, they were still missing a treasurer, because who honestly wants to do that?). So, if you had your heart set on being on the Science Council for next year (which you didn't, because (1) no one reads this, and (2) no one in CSS wants to be on the Science Council), it's too damn late, and too damn bad. Fuck you. Fortunately, you can still be a director: if you're interested, talk to the Science Council.
Science Council Scholarships
As of the meeting this afternoon, the Science Council have received one application for the 7 $300 scholarships that they plan to award. If you want free money, you should apply: the application is available online, and is due tomorrow. Get to it.
Elections
Elections are tomorrow. You should vote. You won't get a free grand slam, which is probably a good thing. You could also run for positions, but, well, who has time to do that? Or wants to? Not me. That's who.
There will be a CS Colloquium on the topic of "Developing Context-Specific Gene Regulatory Networks from High-Throughput Genomic Data" presented by Ian Sen. Come join us on April 9th from noon to 1 in Building 8 room 302 to enjoy an interesting presentation. Refreshments will be provided.
As of now, Sean Taylor has stepped down as CSS President.
Anthony Mendez is the new President of CSS and has appointed Diana Arrieta as the new CSS Vice-President.
First: We've updated our events calendar, much of which should be displayed on the right. We hope to do a better job of keeping this updated this quarter (though, by posting five events to it, we've already succeeded in that), and will probably add some more talks to it soon (i.e.: as we schedule them).
Casino Night, Science Council's annual fundraiser, is scheduled for January 31st. Tickets are $20 if you buy them ahead of time from us (which you should, because it gets us money, or recognition, or pimp canes or something), or $25 if you buy them at the door. From what I gather, they'll be having normal casino-type games, like blackjack, roulette, and craps. I for one wanted poker, but I don't know if they plan on having a poker table. If you want free tickets, you can go to yet another fundraiser on Friday, January 23rd, at JoJo's Pizza Kitchen. If you mention Science Council when making any order between 6:00pm and 10:30pm, 25% of the cost of what you order goes to Science Council. You also have the chance of winning 2 casino night tickets in a raffle. If you're not content to just give money to the Science Council in two ways, you can attend a spirit night on February 4, 2009 at the Chick-fil-a near here.
