On behalf of the Computer Science Graduate Council (CSGC), I would like to extend a warm welcome to all our new graduate students at CS@VT. We are excited to invite you to a back-to-school BBQ on Friday, September 5 at Blacksburg Municipal Park Shelter 1. Please RSVP using this link: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScXxZstN2Zjv9VvGvZmP3OzZ4N7l_P_SYMs... A little about CSGC: We represent the interests of CS graduate students, both within the department and beyond. We organize social events, support students in navigating department activities, voice student concerns in graduate school forums, and manage conference travel funds. We also host fun events throughout the semester. If you have any questions or need support, feel free to reach out to us at gradcouncil@cs.vt.edu.
