April 22 - WICS Dinner (FREE FOOD!)

WICS is going on a culinary adventure, somewhere in Eugene. If you're a current member (of the WICS mailing list), you're already invited (check your Inbox!). Else if you're a prospective member, go ahead and join the WICS mailing list and you'll be retro-actively invited.

Let Suzanne Millstein know you're coming! Also let her know if you'll be waiting at the restaurant instead of taking the bus from campus.

Board Game Night

WICS is hosting a board game night next Monday Feb 9 from 7:00 to 9:00 pm in the colloquium room in Deschutes. All women in the department or interested in computer science are encouraged to come; however, all are welcome. This is a great way to meet other women in the department and have some fun.

The doors to the building will be locked at this time. Someone will be there around 7:00 to open the doors. If you come later, call the number posted on the door and someone will open the door.

See you there!
