New Computer Science Help Centre

The department will be opening a new Help Centre for CS students in January. Staffed by outstanding TAs, it will offer students individual help on a drop-in basis, and will be a nice complement to ordinary course-based office hours. We are excited about this new addition to the services we are able to provide for undergrads! Watch for further details in the January UG News.

Tickets are $32.50 and are on sale at the CSSU office, BA 2283.
