CS Graduate
Seminar Series, 2011-12
Graduate seminar is a series of interactive
sessions (tutorials, workshops, & discussion forums) organized for
graduate students in the department. Topics are generally related to
academic and professional development, however we are open to
suggestions to make this a wider platform for discussion. If you have
ideas on organizing new sessions, please feel free to email your
suggestion to Ankur Gupta (ankgupta AT cs.ubc.ca).
