The Department is in search of our next support team--our elite commando unit. For the last two years or so, the team was composed of Erin, Krizia, Justin, and Kate for the ACM ICPC and Max and April for the documentation requirements. These kids have spoiled us in that they were always there and we could always count on them. Now, the six of them are graduating and we have a succession problem.
They have tried to recruit their heirs. Unfortunately, the other kids are intimidated by the thought of working with the faculty. They say we're scary--duh?!?
It looks like what is needed is beyond word-of-mouth. I'm sending out a cattle call on Monday asking for applicants for the esteemed position of departmental commando. I hope people respond.
