We are going to be growing rapidly over the next year. So I wanted to see about getting some interns again, these will be paid internships.

In the past we have hired many of the interns and we will do so this time. We are not sure how many final positions there will be but at least 5, but I would like to get about 10 interns. We might have room for more as time goes on.

Also if there are any recent graduates that do not have employment yet, they can send their resumes to careers@elauwitnetworks.com

The University of South Carolina Career Center is pleased to introduce the Community Internship Program (CIP). This program gives students the ability to earn a minimum of $10hr with a summer internship in South Carolina. Our goal is to help students gain necessary work experience so that they will be more marketable to future employers.

Whether you are starting your internship search or just interested in the possibilities, the CIP staff is here to help you. We are currently planning our meetings and would like to attend one of your meetings to further explain this program to your organization's members. This will be in the form of a 10-15 minute informal presentation.

You get paid, you get a housing and meals allowance, you get travel money, you might get and extra bonus at the end, and you get to spend the summer at a different university playing with cool technology.

You have to apply directly to each school that you wish to join. Here is the list of REU Universities offering positions in Computer Science. There you will find a link to that University's REU homepage which should have instructions on how you can apply. Now is the time to start applying for summer positions.

For Immediate Release

WASHINGTON, DC – October 21, 2009 – ACM (the Association for Computing Machinery) joins with several partners from the computing community to commend the U.S. House of Representatives’ passage of a resolution to raise the profile of computer science as a transforming industry that drives technology innovation and bolsters economic productivity. The resolution, H. RES. 558, sponsored by Congressmen Vernon Ehlers (R-MI) and Jared Polis (D-CO), designates the week of December 7 as “National Computer Science Education Week.” Citing the influence of computing technology as a significant contributor to U.S. economic output, the House resolution calls on educators and policymakers to improve computer science learning at all educational levels, and to motivate increased participation in computer science. ACM is partnering with Microsoft, Google, Inc., and Intel as well as the Computer Science Teachers Association (CSTA), National Center for Women & Information Technology (NCWIT), and the Computing Research Association (CRA) to build awareness of computer science education as a national priority.

I am a recruiter working for a mid size (500 emp) manufacturer located just 30 miles east of Columbia in Camden. We are looking for a Network Administrator and I thought you would be able to refer me to a recent grad that has better than 3 years of hands on experience or could offer me a link to a University sponsored site where I can post the position below.

I am a professor in the College of Education and I apologize for bothering you. I recently began a non-profit organization to help provide literacy resources to impoverished communities. I was wondering if you or any of your staff would be able to help me or send me to someone who could help design a webpage. I have the basic knowledge, but I would like my website to be much more impressive than what I am capable of. I am not sure who to contact (or if I am even in the right college) to find either a student or faculty member who might be interested in helping us get started. If you could refer me to the right person, I would appreciate it. If I have the totally wrong department or college, I apologize!
