Science Career Expo 2005

Categories: Career

Although this event is catered to science students in general, it would be extremely incorrect to say that this isn’t relevant to computer science students! Computer science is present in almost all branches of science and so, whatever your reason, this would be a good event to go to.

Natali Altshuler, former CS student from Electronic Arts will be there! Don’t miss the free advice and food!

CHOOSE FROM A SERIES OF ONE-HOUR PANEL DISCUSSIONS:

  • biotechology
  • health care
  • environment
  • alternative medicine
  • the business of science

Pop and pizza provided for registered students - register now! Go to http://students.ubc.ca/success/careers.cfm, scroll down, and register. There’s 696 spots available as I write this. Last year’s event was really popular so sign up early!

UBC e-Business Club - Uadz

Categories: Career

Hi there!

www.uadz.org is a free classified ads posting service for UBC students to sell and buy anything peer to peer. Our bulletin boards around campus have always been crowded with ads, and it is neither eco-friendly nor convenient for most students because new ones will soon cover up old ads. With Uadz, people could save their time and money from typing and printing out paper ads ; instead, just go on the website, and everything is fast and easy. Since the website is designed for students, people can always have their transactions done on campus. The website is very user-friendly, with instant image upload and Google map integration.

Check it out, take a minute to post your ads online and let your fellow students know about this exciting new website as well! Especially for now since you probably have a lot of Old Books to Sell and Save Money on New Textbooks!

Cheers

The Uadz Crew
