CIS Career Night @ University of Guelph
January 9th, 2009 by Jason Ernst
On January 28th, the Computer Science department at the University of Guelph is having their annual Career Night. It’s being put on with the help of CISters and some other campus student groups. I attended one of these events last year and met some really interesting people. Anyone who is at Guelph and can attend should definitely go! At the career night, many alumnus of the computer program at Guelph are invited back to the school to share their experiences and to answer questions about their career since graduating.

November 4th, 2008 by Jason Ernst
On December 2nd and 4th 2008, Research Day for the Computer Science Department at the University of Guelph is taking place. Research Day is a day where many of the graduate and some undergraduate students present research projects in various stages. For the graduate students the projects consist of initial results and proposals for thesis documents while the undergrads present results from their research projects.

PerWin Research Group @ the University of Guelph
October 20th, 2008 by Jason Ernst
Today I completed the listing page for all of the presentations our research group PerWin at the University of Guelph has made in the last year or so. PerWin stands for Pervasive Computing and Wireless Networking Research. The group is directed by my advisor, Dr. Mieso Denko and has several graduate students who are active research members in the group. We have given presentations on topics ranging from Wireless Mesh Networks protocols, Autonomous networks, Fair Scheduling, Load Balancing, RFID, Wireless Security and much more. We have also had special invited talks by several faculty members from various Universities around Ontario (Ryerson, UOIT).
Reynolds Building @ University of Guelph where PerWin meets regularly
Check out the schedule page here for the list of presentations, presenters and topics. There are also listings of many of the websites for the presenters which may be a good resource for people interested in our work. If you are a faculty member interested in giving a talk contact Dr. Mieso Denko at the University of Guelph.

Ontario College / Uni Students get Free Money!
September 10th, 2008 by Jason Ernst
Not exactly related to computer science, but I thought it would be a helpful post anyways to anyone who might be an Ontario student reading this blog…
I just found out today from Guelph that full-time Ontario College and University students can apply for a textbook / technology grant worth a $100. It may not sound like much but free money is free money and the application takes all of 10 seconds online. That sounds like a pretty sweet hourly rate to me (plus I’m a broke college student myself). Here’s the link if anyone is interested: https://osap.gov.on.ca/eng/eng_osap_main.html. Just click login and look for TTG. According to the FAQ it doesn’t require any proof of financial need or any proof you’ve actually spent the money on textbooks so it’s pretty much no strings attached. For more information about it visit this link: https://osap.gov.on.ca/eng/not_secure/plan_grants_full_sepapp_ttg_12345.htm

About a week and a half ago I had the opportunity to attend a CRM-Fields Prize lecture by Allan Borodin at the University of Toronto. An audio recording of the lecture is available here:
