    • Sid: Met Ana the day before classes started; reconnected a little bit after that. Has had a lot of fun at various events. Feels that the CSUA does a lot of important events, from corporate events to social events. Would like to be a part of organizing all of the events. Was part of a similar club in highschool, so he has some experience in event planning. Events: went to all of the infosessions (execpt the last one) and the hackathon

    • Nathan: Met Megan at Calso, but then reconnected in the spring. Really likes the feeling of the club and finds us to be very inclusive. Lots of different people from lots of different STEM majors. Feels that CSUA is the “accepting” club of the CS department -> we don’t have a GPA cap to get in. Does a lot of research so he has a lot of faculty connections. Really likes coding (potential Tech VP???) Events: Meraki event, UPE movie night, party during the summer, clean up at the stackoverflow GM, running undergrad research symposium.

    • Allen: Got introduced to the CSUA by Jeremy. Really like the environment of the CSUA and enjoys the events. Wants to be part of the team that is pulling it off. Really wants to be part of the CSUA to help out with events and to learn s=more about the club. Feels that he can help the CSUA/CS community.
