Accelerated Master Program
Thur.(11/16) @ 2:30pm in F-228 Dr. Gupta is going to give a talk on the accelerated masters program
This is a great opportunity for those seeking masters from WMU to shave some time off of their degree
Possible Loaner Laptop
Sphinx proposes that club buy a few loaner laptops for those in need of laptops in the program
Although laptops are required for the CS program sometimes students run into issue midway through a semester and need a quick temporary solution
Possibly a cheap refurbished (i.e. Lenovo Thinkpads or Dell Latitudes)
Much planning and thought are required to approve and practically implement this idea, but it would be a valuable resource to the club and the department
