Events

The CS-GSA has an exciting event planned for next week!!! Exclusive for grad students, we will be hosting three speakers from Google to talk about life at Google, their hiring requirements, and what they look for in applicants! The speakers include a Ph.D. machine learning intern, along with two past intern full hires. There will be food and swag, and of course, some really great talks.

The CS GSA is excited to host a talk unlike anything you have seen from us before! We have partnered up with Ralph and we will be talking about how to negotiate a better salary!

The event will take place on Feb 10th, at 2 PM in DC1302.

It gets even better: refreshments will be provided.

An exciting event is on its way! On Wednesday, March 4th, we will host a trip to Chicopee Tube Park for an afternoon of winter fun, and best of all, it's only $8.85+tax for both the bus and park ticket. Now what is tubing, you might ask? Great question! Imagine sledding but on a giant tire.

We know it's been a long time since the last CS GSA event. With Canada Day quickly approaching, we have joined together with the Math GSA to bring you all an online trivia night! The trivia will run 7:00pm to 8:30pm on Wednesday, July 1st. You can join together with your fellow math grad students to form teams of 2-4. To take part, simply register your team through the link sent to your uwaterloo inbox!

We wanted to share some exciting news about an upcoming event! As you may already be aware, the CS GSA has partnered with the Math GSA to bring you another online event. This time we will be hosting Jackbox sessions for you all to enjoy! This is a great opportunity to keep in touch with your fellow grad students, unwind for a bit, and play some hilarious party games. The event will take place on October 1st, from 6:00pm-8:00pm (EDT). You can find the event through the Math Faculty Grad Students Team on Microsoft Teams.

Ralph is hosting a webinar that will share insights, expertise, and data on getting interviews and how to negotiate an industry offer in quantitative finance, AI/ML, data science, bio-technology, and hardware companies. For those of you who attended the webinar with Ralph in Winter 2020, this webinar will include new and improved topics and techniques. Topics will include:

We will be hosting a Virtual Games Night in collaboration with the Math GSA! We have a variety of games to play and are hoping you'll join us on Tuesday, February 2, 2021 at 6pm EST. It will be taking place on the Math GSA MS Teams. Check your email for more details on how to join the event!
