| To the World Finals! |
Students from the Department of Computer Science and Engineering will be heading to Stockholm, Sweden, in spring 2009 to compete in the World Finals of the ACM International Collegiate Programming Contest. The student team, WUSTL 1, comprised of Sean Fellows, Doug Li, and Aayush Munjal, earned the spot by taking 2nd Place at the ACM Mid-Central Regional Programming Contest held in early November.
CSE fielded two additional teams at the Mid-Central Regional: WUSTL-2, a rookie team, with members CJ Carey, Neil Munjal, and Gordon Sommers, also had a top-10 finish, taking 8th Place. Team WUSTL-0, with Walker Burgin, Nathaniel Roman, and David Ross, finished a very creditable 51st out of the 136 teams competing.
The 2009 World Finals in Stockholm will be hosted by KTH-The Royal Institute of Technology. A complete list of teams competing in the World Finals will be posted on the ACM-ICPC web page.
| ACM Course Registration Party | October 30, 2008 |
Where: DUC Room 239 (NOT the ACM lounge)
When: 6 PM to 8:00 PM, Monday November 10th
It's that time of year again, that is, time to start thinking about which classes to take next semester. Instead of sifting through a coursebook or getting a biased pitch from your advisor, come chat with fellow CS students willing to tell all about their experiences.
Avoid unintelligble, boring, and difficult professors!
Learn which classes you really need, which you'll really like, and which you should try to avoid at all costs!
Upperclassmen: Whine about your classes to sympathetic ears! Influence the decisions of those younger than you!
Snacky food will be provided, with the possibility of fresh-baked cookies!
| ACM General Body Meeting | October 20, 2008 |
Time: Thursday 10/23 at 6:30 PM
Place: outside the ACM Lounge (Lopata 5)
Hang out with other CS majors, enjoy free food (sponsored by Monsanto), and talk about any plans or projects you have in mind, or anything you'd like ACM to do for you. Also, members can pay their $5 dues (waived for CSE 131 students) and get card access to the lounge.
