UDLS

UDLS has been in operation for almost 20 years. What started as a spontaneous idea developed into one of the longest-running traditions of CS graduate students and the CSGSA once it was adopted shortly after the first presentation. Since its start in 2007, UDLS has given over 200 students and guests in 499 presentations the opportunity to share their interests, curiosities, and experiences, and provided a friendly environment to improve public speaking skills. Let's have a look at the past 20 years of UDLS, explore some statistics, understand the variety of UDLS talks given in the past, and answer the important questions: Will the record of the most UDLS talks ever be broken? What does tennis history have to do with UDLS, and why are many UDLS presentations bad news for US unemployment?
