The Carleton Computer Science Society (CCSS) will be running a week of awesome events for computer science students the second week of school. Think of it as a way for students to get engaged with the people who are in their classes along with their professors in a more computer science- specific setting. Here are the details:

  • Monday, September 12th at 2:30pm: Coffee Social This event will be a great place to chat with your fellow students and faculty and have some free coffee and snacks! We run these every two weeks.
  • Monday September 12th at 6:30pm: Ladies Chat & Code Night Women in computer science can come hear experiences and information regarding what others have done in the field recently and to discuss common roadblocks for folks in CS.
