The Allen School culture is something we all care about and we need your help to keep CSE a vibrant, welcoming, and fun place to live and work! Nothing happens that *you* as a member of the Allen school don't have the power to influence and change. This wiki contains a record of the people taking on the named service positions for the 2024-2025 academic year. Together all these positions make up the "Grad Student Volunteers," lovingly known as the GSV. Ideally multiple people can help with each position to reduce the workload on any individual!
If you have any questions, please email Kentrell (kentrell at cs) or Alisa (alisaliu at cs) or ask the previous year's committee member.
