How to get a job through networking, according to an undergraduate

Legos, lunch and career advice with WIC @ UCSD

Legos, lunch and conversation were on the menu at a recent Ladies Lego Lunch organized by the Women in Computing group here at UC San Diego and at Google. Undergraduate and graduate students got a chance to network with female engineers from Google and get career advice. They also chowed down on some good food. As an ice breaking activity, students competed to put together a Lego version of Google's iconic green Android logo. The student or team that finished first won.

Research Expo is Thursday April 17

On Friday, as I was describing Research Expo to someone here in San Diego, the person told me that Research Expo falls on the day BEFORE tax day this year...but that's not correct. Tax Day is Tuesday April 15 and Research Expo is Thursday April 17.

We all know the famous saying about death and taxes:

Our new Constitution is now established, and has an appearance that promises permanency; but in this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes.

—Benjamin Franklin, in a letter to Jean-Baptiste Leroy, 1789

...but it occurs to me that technological change is something else that is certain. Given the fact that technology is racing forward in many different directions -- with implications for so many different aspects of business -- it's important to stay abreast of this change. Research Expo is a great opportunity to do just this.
