Subject: [grads] Call For Participation: UCSB CS Student Research Colloquium

 

Calling all UCSB CS grad students!

We are pleased to announce the first CS Student Research Colloquium!

The goal of this colloquium is to give graduate students of our department
an opportunity to give a quick (5-minute long), concise presentation about
their research to fellow CS grad students and faculty.

We are now soliciting your participation! The application consists of a
short abstract for your 5-minute research presentation (the usage of slides
is optional).

We believe this will benefit you in a number of ways:

- Practice in delivering an engaging, understandable, and impactful research
pitch to a diverse technical audience
- Development of professional presentation skills
- Detailed feedback on your research pitch from peers and faculty
- More visibility within the department, possibly leading to opportunities
for intra-departmental collaboration
- Free food and prizes! Think of this as a slightly more technical CS coffee
hour!

The colloquium will be held Friday, February 27, 2015, 3:00-5:00pm in HFH
1132.

CS graduate students from all research areas are encouraged to participate!
Note that, for time-related constraints, we will be able to accept a maximum
of 20 speakers. If more than 20 applications are submitted, speakers will be
selected based on the quality of their abstract and the diversity of
research fields being represented.

Abstracts may be submitted at:

DEADLINE FOR ABSTRACT SUBMISSIONS: FEBRUARY 13, 2015

for more information such as important dates and the program for the
colloquium.

We hope to have department-wide representation and encourage everyone to
participate! This is your chance to share your research with the rest of the
department, and to find out what exactly is going on outside that narrow
corner of the world that is your research lab :) We hope that this will be a
valuable experience for speakers and audience alike!

Sincerely,
The CS Student Research Colloquium Committee
