*Google Summer of Code*
Getting involved with an Open Source project is an excellent way to gain 
real-world software development experience. Through the Google Summer of 
Code program, you have the opportunity to partner with an experienced 
mentor, deeply immerse yourself in a 3-month coding project, work 
collaboratively with a globally distributed team and get an awesome 
t-shirt. Google will accept student applications from *_March 23 through 
April 3_*.  Learn more at: http://code.google.com/soc/
Please help us get the word out on campus by using the pre-made flyers:
