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. Together all these positions make up the "Grad Student Committee," lovingly known as the GSC. 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).
