Impromptu Meeting!

Reminder! Meeting today at 11:30am in OS 219a. A little impromptu, but we have some issues that we need to talk about before the next scheduled meeting.

1.) SAB and WiCS joint meeting about department items.
2.) ACM-W chapter.
3.) New fund raising alternatives.
4.) October Wii tournament event?

Sorry for the very short notice!

"Welcome!" ice cream social with Kristen Stubbs

WiCS's first meeting (TODAY 9/22 @ 3:30 p.m.) will be a "Welcome!" ice
cream social. Come find out more about WiCS!

We'll also feature a guest speaker, Kristen Stubbs. Kristen is a
human-robot interaction researcher who recently completed her PhD in
Robotics at Carnegie Mellon University. Kristen will discuss her work
on two projects involving robotic exploration: the Life in the Atacama
project, in which a team of scientists explored the Atacama Desert of
Chile with a semi-autonomous rover; and the Personal Exploration Rover
exhibit, in which museum visitors and employees controlled a miniature
Mars rover to learn about robotic autonomy and exploration. Kristen's
thesis work focused on how to build common ground between people and
robots collaborating on remote exploration tasks. Two cool events in
one!

See you in the CS library (OS 219a) today at 3:30pm.

Thanks!

Resuming WiCS Lunch Meetings

Welcome back to term everyone!

I'd like to schedule our lunch meetings for the term. After talking to
a few people, it seems that Monday works best. Please let me know if
Monday at 11:30am-12:30pm doesn't work for your schedules.

Like last spring, the meetings will take place once every few weeks.
The proposed schedule is:

September 22
October 20
November 17
December 8

I hope you will be able to join us this term!

Thanks!
Kate
