CSA Spring Meeting - April 16, 2014 7:30-9:00am

We're mixing it up for our early spring meet up. In place of a mid-afternoon gathering, we're going to try for an earlier time slot - Breakfast!  Our special speaker for this meeting is one of CS&E's 'top researchers' - Prof. Loren Terveen whose research focuses on 'Precision Crowdsourcing'. The meeting details can be found under the agenda tab above.

Prof. Loren Terveen

Prof. Loren Terveen will be joining us to talk about his precision crowdsourcing  work with social media giant 'Pinterest'. He will present some noteworthy research findings, share his viewpoints on this research and bring us up to date on his current interests. After the talk, we'll have a short CSA business meeting.

Plus, we'll also have Matt Gray of Clockwork Active Media, a software engineer, tech-biz entrepreneur, CS&E alumnus 'in the house' to talk to CSA membership about Coder DoJo Twin Cities. Matt co-founded the Twin Cities chapter and he'll have some inspiring anecdotes to share.

In concert with the College and Dean's office, we've invited CSE alumni to Professor Terveen's talk as one of the college's Spring 2014 Alumni Learning events.  We're hopeful this 'breakfast' time frame will not throw too many 'old timers' off of their game clock.  We're trying new and different ways to boost involvement and attendance. Our hope is to attract and welcome a few new faces and reconnect with old friends who couldn't get away for the typical mid-afternoon CSA meeting time.

See you bright and early on the 16th.

Ed. Note: Years of informal surveys over the past few years told us that CSA folks were 'open and welcoming' to different meeting times and places, given adequate notice, of course.
