HerCDM

Hey everyone!

It is the beginning of week 4 already, can you believe it? And with this week comes HerCDM’s first guest speaker.  Sheila Oh is a CDM alum, graduating from Depaul with a Masters in Computer Science in 2009. She has many years of technical consulting experience and has also worked as a technical lead and software engineering manager. Sheila currently works for Sittercity Incorporated as Director of Sitter Quality and Acquisition. Come out tomorrow to meet Sheila, hear her story, and enjoy some yummy pizza from 4:30-5:30pm in CDM 209.  See you all tomorrow!

Hey everyone!

Week three has begun and with it there is another HerCDM meeting! This Wednesday from 4:30-5:30pm in CDM 209.  Food will be provided as always.  See you all tomorrow!

Hey everyone,

Hope the first week of classes have gone well for everyone.  HerCDM will be having its first meeting tomorrow from 4:30-5:30pm in CDM 209. For those that I didn’t ruin the surprise for, we are getting some yummy treats! So come out for a little snack before class and some nice catching up with friends!

See you all tomorrow!

Happy new years to everyone!

Hope everyone enjoyed their breaks.  But now we have to get back into gear and welcome the next quarter which starts today!   HerCDM will be starting up soon and will be on Wednesdays again this quarter with a new room (or the old room for those that remember)! HerCDM will be in CDM 209 (the student lounge) from 4:30-5:30pm starting January 11th! See you all in one week and good luck with the beginning of classes!

Hey everyone,

Finals week is finally upon us.  Therefore there will be no HerCDM meeting this week. I wish you all the best of luck and hope you all enjoy a well deserved winter break.  Check back closer to the end of December to find out when HerCDM will be next quarter.

Good luck with finals and have a relaxing break!

Hey all!!

Tomorrow is the beginning of week 10! Finals are fast approaching so I expect to see many tired and hungry folks. So you should come out to HerCDM tomorrow, Wednesday 11/9/11 for some free sammies and a nice break from stress! Meet in room 924 at 4:30pm and relax-it-up!

Also, CDM is hosting a hack-a-thon soon! Read below for more info…

Hey all,

Hope everyone is doing well.  We have another HerCDM meeting this week tomorrow, October 26th from 4:30-5:30pm in room 924.  I mislead everyone last week about food but this week we actually have mini subs to munch on. Hope to see everyone there!

On a side note, here is a quickly closing opportunity for a job at IntroFly.  The deadline to apply is Friday the 28th by 4pm.  Check out the site for more details.

Happy Tuesday!

Hey all,

Week 7 is upon us and hopefully midterms are over for everyone at this point. How is everyone holding up? The end is near for a nice, long, well-deserved break! The second of a string of Leadership Workshops will be tomorrow from 4:45-5:45 in the same room. Here’s the catch; you can ONLY attend this workshop if you attended the first.  However, there is something you can do before your night classes!  HerCDM will be meeting in 924 form 4:30-5:30 with mini subs to munch on! I will be missing for the meeting but there will be two other hosts for the event. Cece Story, student coordinator for Digital Divas will be one of them so harass her for the food! See you all next week. Questions? Just email me. Be on the lookout for my emails
