Young Library Auditorium Come learn about how you can make Google Docs work for you! As a student, Google Docs can do many things for you, whether you're working in a group, managing your notes, or trying to organize information for a student organization. Google Docs has word processing, spreadsheets, and presentations that can supplement or fully replace your traditional tools. This session is specifically relevant to those of you that play a key role in student organizations, as Google Docs make sharing and collaborating much easier than email and traditional documents. Also, for a chance to get a *free Google Docs water bottle,* please fill out the survey here: http://bit.ly/2LFLIt And check out the event page on facebook and share it with your friends! http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=162849017770&index=1 The second event we're running is a *CS Student Social!* *When: *November 6 from 5:30-10 pm *Where:* Cats Den (in the Student Center) *What: *This event is just about giving UK CS students a chance to interact, have fun, and enjoy *free food*. We have the Cats Den and all the games there will be on free play for the whole evening. We'll have plenty of food, so dinner is on us! There isn't anything planned for the evening other than just hanging out and having fun. It's a great opportunity to get to know some of your peers outside of the classroom. And if you bring a laptop, we can help you install the lastest version of Ubuntu Linux. Finally, the long awaited winning design for the *ACM T-shirt* is "apt-get involved" submitted by... me.
