[Acm-members] Upcoming ACM Events

[Matt Durak]

Welcome back!

We have a few general announcements about the semester, as well as a list
of upcoming events now through February, so mark your calendars.  Sorry
it's a bit long but we want everyone to know about the events we will be
holding in the next couple of months.

First of all, *if you have not yet ordered a T-Shirt but want one, send me
an email at acm at cse.msu.edu with "ACM T-Shirt" in the subject line*.  Again
you can still bring your money to Teresa at her office or to any of our
meetings.  Shirts are just *$8* and the design is on our website (
http://acm.cse.msu.edu/Files/acmShirt.jpg).  If you have ordered one
already, we will be sending you information as soon as we receive the
shirts.

Next, if you want to get involved with ACM next year, now is the perfect
opportunity to run for an e-board (executive board) position.  We will hold
elections on Monday 2/27 at 6:30PM so that the new e-board can start the
planning process for next year early.  All students are welcome to run for
a position.  All positions are open for election and only half of the
current e-board will be here next year.  You can see a list of positions on
our website.  Also, we will send out a description of the positions as the
elections get closer.

*Upcoming Events:*


   - *Wednesday 1/18 at Noon*: ACM Pizza Break sponsored by *Union Pacific*.
   This will be held on the 3rd floor outside the CSE office.  We are trying
   this out instead of the donut breaks this semester.  See the attached flier
   from Union Pacific regarding job opportunities.
   - *Thursday 1/26 at 7PM*: Talk from Dr. Anil Jain on his research in
   pattern recognition entitled: "Biometric Recognition: Some Challenges in
   Forensics".
   - *TBD early February*: A talk from Dr. Ofria.
   - *Thursday 2/2 at TBD*: Microsoft presentation regarding the all-day
   hackathon.  More information will be released as soon as we know but this
   will be an information session about the hackathon.
   - *Saturday 2/4*: All-day Microsoft hackathon.  We will release the
   details when we know but this will involve Windows phone development and
   there will be prizes.
   - *Tuesday 2/7 at 7PM*: Laser tag social event with ACM and WIC.  We
   will meet at the Engineering building lobby at 7PM and carpool to Zap
   Zone.  Please RSVP by filling out this form:

   - *Tuesday 2/21 at 5:15PM*: Compuware will be hosting a talk at the WIC
   meeting.  They will be discussing Compuware overall, what their software
   solutions do in the market, as well as speaking about opportunities for
   full time positions.
   - *Monday 2/27 at 6:30PM*: ACM Officer elections for next year.


Finally, it is not too late to fill out the ACM online survey:
http://www.surveygizmo.com/s3/739839/MSU-ACM-Chapter-Fall-2011-Feedback-Survey
We are interested in getting feedback about what events people would like
us to host.  If you have any other suggestions for ACM you can always send
an email to "acm at cse.msu.edu"
