[4eyes] FW: [FACULTY] CS Summit

[Matthew Turk]

The CS faculty are asking PhD student to submit presentation for the Graduate Students Distinguished Lectures. The deadline is Wednesday at 11:59pm. Info below:


The procedure to submit a Graduate Distinguished Lecture is the following:

1) Students submit presentations by January 30th, at 11:59pm.
The submission must include a Powerpoint presentation (in wide-screen format) and a video of the presenter giving the talk.
The video doesn’t need to be high quality (a cell phone video is fine), but it should give an idea of the way in which the speaker plans to present the material.
To submit a presentation, please put the presentation and the video in a Google Drive directory and then share the directory with Giovanni Vigna (vigna at cs.ucsb.edu).

2) The selection committee selects five candidates by Friday, Feb 3.

3) A first round of presentation is performed on February 6 (from 9am to noon) in front of the selection committee, and the committee provides feedback.

4) A second round of presentations is performed in front of the selection committee, on February 13 (from 9am to noon).

This process will guarantee that the presenters receive substantial feedback and that the Graduate Student Distinguished Lectures are of a high quality.

At the Summit.cs event, the industry attendants will vote on the presentations.

The top presentation will receive a prize of 1,000 USD.
The second presentation will receive a prize of 750 USD.
The third presentation will receive a prize of 500 USD.
