Hi all, Good morning! Best of luck to everyone who has exams this week, and for our members that are graduating this week best of luck with the future! I would especially like to thank Matthew Burke, my predecessor as president, and Chris Mullender, our former treasurer, for all their fantastic work on the committee over the last two years. This week we will have an *unofficial* Geek Night, so feel free to join us in the Undergraduate Social Area on Saturday if you are still in Oxford. Over the summer we will be organising new sponsorships for next year, as well as talks and events for Michaelmas and Hilary. If you know somebody that could give a great talk - or you are interested in delivering one yourself - please get in contact with our secretary, Edward Hart <secretary(a)ox.compsoc.net>. Next year we are also planning on getting CompSoc stash (so perhaps you can get a hoodie to wear with all the sponsors' t-shirts!). Have a great vac! Thomas and the rest of the committee Sponsor NoticesEnsoft CV deadline - today! <http://www.ensoft.co.uk/careers> Ensoft develops software that connects the world. The Internet depends every day on the code we write - it's challenging work that matters. It's also fun - being really good at writing complex software is what we enjoy. We've grown by taking a few of the best Oxbridge graduates each year, and investing heavily in their training. It's an ideal environment for bright, creative people who want to develop rapidly. If you bring the computer science knowledge and coding skills needed to tame Internet-scale complex systems, you can solve challenging problems as part of a world-class software engineering team. Do you want to find out more? Come and chat to us at the Summer Graduate & Internship Fair at the Oxford Town Hall on Tuesday 6th June, 2.30pm to 5.30pm.
