Hey everyone,
I hope you’re all excited for Hilary term! Although it doesn’t look like we’ll be heading back to Oxford this term, we’ve still got plenty of events planned so stay tuned! This term will also be our last term as your CompSoc committee, so if any of you want to go for a place on next year’s committee then be sure to come along to our AGM later in the term. Our first social event this term is a casual social night with no set theme, so head to Discord this Saturday for some pizza and fun. We’ve also got a message from Optiver this week about an event they’re hosting, so be sure to sign up below!
If you aren’t already on the CompSoc Discord, you can join it here to take part in social events and keep in touch with other members.
- Matthew and the rest of the committee
19:00, Saturday, Week 0, Discord
There is no set theme for this event, so just come and join us all on our Discord to meet up with everyone and have some fun. We look forward to seeing you!
