Big Start of Year Update

Fri Mar 06, 2009

First of all, MUCSA is now affiliated with the student union. This means a lot more funding for events and club supplies. We will be signing up membership this year and hand out membership cards for $1(union) or $2(non-union). We have software available from our office at 1pm-2pm on Mondays and Wednesdays, software may also be sold at other times depending on who's in the office.

Our next event
Deloitte Graduate Application/Case Study Talk (+ BBQ)
Date/Time: Tuesday 10th March, 1pm - 3pm
Location: ICT Lecture Theatre 2
This talk will consist of someone from Deloitte explaining how to handle graduate application processes and also case studies on projects by Deloitte. ISSS will join MUCSA in running this event. This will be followed by a BBQ on the level 1 balcony of ICT where you will able to talk 1-on-1 with Deloitte representatives.


MUCSA just held a BBQ along with several other clubs on South Lawn called MegaBBQ. We are planning on running an event with Microsoft soon and one planned with Google some time this semester also. A lot more is to come!
