[wics-announce] Events and Volunteer Opportunities

[Women in Computer Science Announcements]

Hello everyone!

Midterms are in full swing, but hopefully you're taking breaks and enjoying
the weather this month too! In this email:

1. Big CSters Technical Speaking Workshop
2. WiCS-CSC go outside!
3. Sticker submissions
4. Button making

*1. Big CSters Technical Speaking Workshop*

Level up on your technical speaking skills and get constructive feedback on
them in this workshop focussed on helping you become an effective
communicator! No experience or preparation is required. You'll be getting
into small groups and talking about side projects, coop work, your
technical interests, or even something you learned in class that morning!

As always, dinner will be provided (with vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free
options).

   - Where: QNC 1506
   - When: Monday, June 27, 6 - 8 pm
   - Facebook event <https://www.facebook.com/events/494933570698764/>

*Note: This is a women only event.*

*2. WiCS-CSC go outside!*

WiCS and the CSC are partnering up for a fun, outdoorsy event! Celebrate
the end of midterms and join us at a bonfire event this July. Food will be
provided.

   - Where: TBA
   - When: Thursday, July 7


*3. Sticker submissions*

We've had a wonderful sticker submission already! Submissions are still
open, so you can submit a sticker idea for WiCS and we'll print and
distribute them. It doesn't have to have the WiCS logo on it-- all we ask
is that they have a women in technology theme and be inclusive towards the
diversity of all women and non-binary individuals. Specifically, we ask
that you do not include any faces on the sticker.

*4. Button making*

In case you missed it in our last email, we're making our next round of
WiCS buttons! A huge thank you to those that have volunteered to help out
with making them so far. Email us at wics-ugrad at lists.uwaterloo.ca if you'd
like to help out making some. You can make as many as you like (we will
pair you up with a partner if you sign up). Each button takes around 1-2
minutes to make, so this is a fun, low commitment way to be involved with
the committee :)

Good luck with midterms!

*If you're interested in volunteering, please email us and let us know so
we can add you to our volunteer mailing list!*
