We are a society for the students, by the students. Here’s an overview of what we do;

+ - - - +

- The CSESoc Subcommittees are an integral part of our society and are responsible for directly - interacting with the students and sponsors through events, publications, this website, etc. Each - subcommittee is run by the portfolio directors, and those directors are selected by the executive - and is part of the director board. The CSESoc Executive and Directors hope you have enjoyed our - events and activities - so much so that you wish to get involved! If you are interested in - volunteering in a specific area or are thinking about running for an executive position in the - future, then joining a subcom is the best way to get involved, meet other people and try something - new! - -

- - - Careers - - One of the core goals of CSESoc is to provide students with a large variety of opportunities to - build and diversify their careers and professional portfolios. Our members are recognised around - the globe as world class computing students and many of them go on to work at an extremely wide - range of organisations in an assortment of different roles. -

- The careers team aims to imbue our members with the skills, experience, and connections needed to - forge a successful career in the technology industry. We organise and host events throughout - semester designed to achieve this goal - such as tech talks and workshops, networking nights, - resume and interview workshops, hackathons, coding competitions and so on. We also help manage - sponsor relations, as sponsors play a key role in everything we do. This subcommittee helps its - members develop both personally and professionally as they correspond with our points of contact - in the world's biggest tech companies, such as Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Facebook, Atlassian and - Canva. - - - - CompClub - - CompClub is the high school outreach program of the Computer Science and Engineering Society - (CSESoc) at UNSW Sydney. CompClub exists to introduce high school students to the basics of - Computer Science and to encourage students to study CSE. CompClub runs standalone workshops - throughout the year at UNSW and participating high schools as well as biannual programs at UNSW - known as the Summer and Winter Schools. -

- If you are a teacher or educator who is interested in contacting us, please email us at - compclub@csesoc.org.au. If you are a high school student, keep an eye out for our Winter - Workshops. - - - - Creative - - The Creative Team is responsible for expressing our creative freedoms whilst integrating what we - create fully with CSESoc branding and vision. We believe in combining the logical and analytical - side of CSE with creativity and artistic expression. Not only this, we provide an avenue for - subcom to learn something new, come up with creative CSE projects and develop your creative minds. -

- The Events Team works with other portfolios to deliver event-based design demands such as banners - on a request basis, focused on developing a professional relationship with not only CSESoc, but - more importantly our sponsored companies! -

- The Video Team handles the development of videos and editing for publishing/advertising. This year - we want to explore new territories of motion graphics and animations to develop videos such as - animated video banners, informational videos and promotional videos for events. -

- The Merchandise Team is responsible for coming up with innovative ideas for our upcoming - merchandise - such as stickers, hoodies and team shirts. -

- The wildcard is an all-rounder role which covers all aspects of creative expression. This - includes, but not limited to, organising subcom upskilling workshops, intersociety design related - collaboration, general creative design and logo design. - - - - Marketing - - The Marketing team is responsible for the effective promotion and marketing of CSESoc and its - events. CSESoc is a premier society at UNSW so we aim to ensure that our image is continually - strengthened while delivering valuable events and opportunities to CSE students. -

- The Social Media team will be in charge of the creation and promotion of events and opportunities - provided by the CSESoc society, sometimes including content creation. We also look at reviewing - current and creating new strategies to maximise our reach. We also collaborate with other - portfolios to ensure maximum exposure and success of events. -

- The Photography/Video Team is a great place for those who are creatively inclined, the role will - include taking photos and videos at social events, creating and managing media, and creating - promotional content. - - - - Media - - The Media Team is responsible for cementing the CSESoc’s brand and student voice, managing content - that enriches the academic, social and cultural experience of CSE students all while acting as a - bridge for students ideas, opinions and advice to the wider society. Some of the type of content - media is responsible for producing include but not limited to are podcasts, videos, articles and - the First Year Guide. - - - - Socials - - The Socials Team plans, organises and executes all of CSESoc’s social events - including the - weekly BBQs, pub crawl, ice skating, cardboard night, and lots more. In planning these events, we - do our best to not only create opportunities for students across all years to form friendships, - but to also create spaces where these bonds can continue to cultivate throughout their entire - university careers. The best part about being part of this team is how rewarding it feels to watch - as everything comes together and as everyone enjoys themselves within an environment that we - created! In addition, you will also be joining a family of about 50 people, and we will be going - on trips and doing bonding activities together. Being part of the Socials Team is also a good way - to develop leadership, teamwork and communication skills, and is something employers love to see - on a resume. -

- This year, we hope to expand our reach by engaging with our members more, doing our best to - instigate friendships between strangers, and collaborating with our societies (and potentially - other universities). We are looking for people from all years who are committed, passionate and - excited about meeting new people and fostering these bonds! - - - - Projects - - CSESoc is a society for computing students, so it's only fair we do some computing. The Projects - Team is a place to create student-led projects with the goal of building transferable technical - and soft skills so our members can thrive in university, work and anything else you want to do. -

- These projects are normally built for university students, which means when these projects are - completed, they will be used by yourself and your peers! It is a great way to get involved in - CSESoc while branching out and trying a technology or language that you are interested in. -

- We encourage everyone to join the Projects team, regardless of experience level. Even if you don't - feel like you can contribute technically, we want you for your ideas and your enthusiasm. Projects - can be a great chance to learn some of the gaps in your knowledge that lectures might have left - out, and to offer your first taste of designing and building things for the real world. - - - - Student Network - - The Stunet Team works as part of the Socials portfolio to better the student experience! We aim to - help incoming CSE students to integrate into life in CSE at UNSW, facilitate students connecting - with each other, combat the feeling of "imposters syndrome" felt by new CSE students, elevate - well-being of CSE students in general. We run workshops, mentoring programs, study sessions, and - help facilitate CSE Events. -

- Stunet works closely and Socials - and our role is quite diverse! Additionally, this year we are - hoping to expand our program by improving cohesion and increase interaction between the year - levels and undergraduate-postgraduate. - - - - Workshops - - The Workshops team organises student-run educational events throughout the year to help CSE - students (and anyone else, really) make use of both new, and widely used technologies. - Additionally, Workshops promotes the use of Linux through installfests by helping students set up - and solve problems with Linux. - - - - - - - - -

- - CSESoc was formed in October 2006 from the old CompSoc and SESoc societies. CompSoc helped represent - the interests of students studying Computer Engineering, Computer Science and postgraduate courses, - while SESoc was the representative body for Software Engineering students. Both societies provided - technical and social support to their members. In the best interests of everyone, the societies - merged to provide a better experience to all CSE students. - -

-

- - CSESoc now represents students enrolled in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Software - Engineering, Bioinformatics Engineering, or a post‐graduate program administered by CSE (research or - coursework). - -

-

- - Even today CSESoc continues to be an integral part of the student experience. Many students make the - most of their time at university by joining a working group in first year to get a taste of the - society. If you are enthusiastic and interested you can nominate yourself or be nominated for a - position in the Exec at the end of the year. - -

-

- - Being part of a society is a great way to meet new people and gain extra skills that employers look - for in the industry. +
