Research Opportunities at UMD Thursday, September 21 at 5:15 PM in 1121 CSIC If you're thinking about going to grad school, research experience is a must. Working on a project outside your classes with a professor is a great way to figure out if research is for you and explore potential topics of interest. It's also a way to fulfill your 400 level elective requirement and a valuable addition to your resume. Come learn about CMSC498, the Undergraduate Research Assistant Program (URAP), summer Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) programs, and other ways to do research through the Computer Science and Computer Engineering departments. Pizza will be served. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ACM International Collegiate Programming Contest The first informational meeting for the ICPC will be held this Wednesday at 6:15 in AVW 3165.
