Hi, Class of 2027! My name is Aidan Nelson. If elected, I will advocate for 4 main initiatives:
o More events like the industry mixer, for you to interact with potential employers and start building a professional network
o Presentations from older students in co-op, where you can address questions and concerns regarding the co-op process
o More presentations from people working in the computer science industry, for you to learn about networking and other aspects of the transition into a professional environment
o Small class specific study groups, led by an older student
o This will provide a place to get help on class material and study for tests, midterms, and exams
o A great place to meet new friends and see classmates on a regular basis
o Information and Q&A sessions with upper year students prior to course registration, mainly for new first year students
o I will work to improve online resources to provide better accessibility to course information for computer science students
o This will make the course selection process much easier and understandable
o Regularly hosted events, where you can stop by, meet new people, or bring some friends
o These will include board game nights, movie nights, and video games
o Any other event suggestions are encouraged!
Most importantly, as a first-year representative, it is my responsibility to ensure all of you are heard. Please contact me with any suggestions, questions, or concerns you may have.
