We are the Computer Science Student Society (CSSS, or simply THE CUBE). We are a student society to serve all Computer Science students. We are governed by our constitution.

Our Mission Statement
To forge a meaningful relationship between the Computer Science students and the department, to expand students' networking opportunities and industry contacts, and to construct a supportive and fun environment within the undergraduate community. We carry out our mission by: encouraging students to volunteer in Department related events, organizing the highly anticipated Career Fair, and holding social events.

What should I expect?
Expect BBQs (weather permitting), IceCubed skating events, Beach Days, the Career Fair, Industry Panels and Info Sessions, volunteer opportunities within the Computer Science Department, licensed parties, and the year-end boat cruise!

What sort of freebies do I get when I sign up?

• Dayplanner: Includes monthly view, events/volunteer opportunities available through CSSS and the CS Department AND a central map of UBC at the back!
• Glossy CSSS pins
• CSSS brochure: More about what we can do for you!
• Lanyards: They are a beautiful blue colour and have a lobster clip attached at the end.

(note: freebies available while supplies last)

How can I benefit from this club?

• Socialize with your CS peers: Socialize, eat and be merry! We will organize many events just for CS students.
• Connect with the CS Department: I can't stress how important it is to dip your feet into volunteer opportunities within the CS department. You will really find a home in CS by helping out within the department. Try it out! CSSS can help lead you to the right volunteer events.
• Network with the Industry: We will be holding a career fair.
• Cheap food: We have über cheap chips, pop (both 50 cents), Mr. Noodle bowls, ENERGY DRINKS! (1 dollar), Famous Amos cookies, water, and chocolate bars. We have all these items in our lounge, X139. Forget those greedy vending machines. We're not pirates.

Where is the CSSS lounge?
X139!

How do I join?
NO MEMBERSHIP FEE IS REQUIRED. You are automatically a part of the CSSS since you are a Computer Science Student. Cool, eh?

How do I participate in the CSSS events?
Check your email! We will primarily send emails about our events through the CSSS mailing list. To sign up, please complete the following instructions:

1. Send an e-mail to announce-subscribe@thecube.ca with the word "subscribe" in the subject line.
2. The system will e-mail you instructions to confirm your subscription.

How can I be involved in the running of CSSS?
Just ask! We're always happy to have more volunteers, so if you're interested, take a look through the positions listed below. Our organization has a three-layer reporting structure: the president, the other core executives, and the committees. The core executives are elected each spring, while the committee members are appointed throughout the year. If you see a position that interests you, feel free to contact the chair of the committee to which the position belongs. If you're not sure who to contact, use our general contact address.

Thanks all! If you have any questions/concerns, please e-mail us at csss@thecube.ca!
