A one-credit (CR/NC) seminar series
Intent
The UW CSE Leadership Seminar Series, CSE 390L,
is a one-credit (CR/NC) seminar series,
primarily targeted at upper-division CSE
undergraduates, that brings CSE alumni and
friends to campus to describe how to be effective in a startup,
small company, large company, or less common environment. Our
guests will discuss topics such as:
- What do you need to know in order to succeed, that you don't
learn in your classes or during an internship?
- How do you position yourself to work on interesting projects?
- In a large company, what strategies can make you influential, vs. a
cog in a wheel?
- What is life like in a startup?
- If your goal is to start and grow your own company, where do you begin?
- What are the pros and cons of less common career options,
such as teaching high school computer science?
- Why might you choose graduate school vs. tech industry
employment after graduation?
These should be great, informative, interactive sessions. This
seminar has been very well received during its past offerings
(2011-2015).
But it's up to you - you need to make it interactive!
