Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science and Engineering Community Organizers 2019-2020!
The Allen School culture is something we all care about and we need your help to keep CSE a vibrant, welcoming, and fun place to live and work! Nothing happens that *you* as a member of the Allen school don't have the power to influence and change. This wiki contains a record of the people taking on the named service positions for the 2019-2020 academic year. Ideally multiple people can help with each position to reduce the workload on any individual.
There are a variety of graduate student positions to volunteer for. Most positions are held for one year (see individual positions for exceptions); there are no term limits. More information on each position can be found here: http://www.cs.washington.edu/students/orgs/gsc/officers/. If you have any questions, please email Kelly (kmack3 at cs) or Ather (asharif at cs) or ask the previous year's committee member (which you can find here: http://abstract.cs.washington.edu/wiki/index.php/Gsc2018).
