Hello everyone! My name is Chi, and I’m excited to run for the position of First-Year Representative. I’m passionate not only about technology but also about the community that comes with it. I’m from Ottawa so if you’d like some food and restaurant suggestions, feel free to reach out and say hi! :)
As your first-year representative, here’s what I’d like to do for you:
1. Build a stronger community 🌱
Organizing weekly meetups where we can work on projects, discuss coursework, or hang out.
Never been to a hackathon before? I would love to run a small-scale online hackathon to help you get the gist of it.
2. Enhance academic support 📚
Staying on top of your courses can be hard, let’s change that:
I will host group study sessions, both online, as well as in person. Have others keep you accountable!
Creating more resources to help you study and succeed.
3. Worried about finding internships?📈
Because it’s not all about studying, I will:
Arrange talks from industry professionals and alumni about different CS career paths
Publish a database of resources that I’ve personally made to help you find internship and learning opportunities.
Run workshops by upper year students to help guide you. I know that the industry is overwhelming and I’d like to make things a little less so.
4. Meet some new people!✨
CS can be lonely a lot of the time when we’re holed up in our rooms working. Meeting new people can be intimidating. I would like to host events for you to connect with others:
Outdoor group walks (so we can touch grass)
Movie nights
Trivia nights with prizes!
If there’s something specific that you’d like to see happen, feel free to reach out to me, I’d love to do my best to make it a reality!
