Application for ACSS Executive Team Now Open - Apply Before September 17th!!!

ACSS Executive Applications Now Open!!

Who are we looking for?

Students who are motivated, collaborative, passionate about improving the CS experience for everyone and enjoy being a part of a team! Even if you’re not sure you’re “qualified,” we encourage you to apply — we're looking for potential and enthusiasm more than experience.

Current open positions are:

· First-year Representative(s): A great way for first-year students to get involved, meet new people, and building experience in the society. As a first-year rep. you'll help make sure that other first-years feel included and heard as the new students on campus. You're the friendly face within a new group of students and represent them at our executive meetings.

· Treasurer: The treaseurer of ACSS is suitable for (upper year) students who have experience dealing with budgets, funding applications and reimbursements. Students applying for this role must be detail-oriented and good at keeping track of the financials of the ACSS. Experience is helpful, but not required.

· Social Media Coordinator: Chronically online students may consider applying for the social media coordinator position. This role is the center of all communications with other students and faculty in the department. As a social media coordinator, you are responsible for designing and posting content to promote events for other students to keep people in the know.

· Event Coordinator(s): For those who love to plan and create fun events, the event coordinator position might be up your alley. All of our events could not be possible without our event coordinator(s) who brainstorm and collaborate with others to provide fun events for all students. We are always looking for new ideas to keep the CS students happy.

Fill out this short application form by September 17th to be considered for the executive team:

Fundraising in AI Forum (9:00 am - 5:00 pm)

The Nonprofit A.I. Forum is designed to give nonprofit leaders access to the latest technology and reposition the nonprofit sector from being under-served to first in line to access experts and learn the tactics that can give the third sector the edge. We have scoured the globe for the best experts, the leaders in A.I. adoption, and brought them together for an immersive digital experience.

Framed from the outset on the ethics and digital challenges faced by nonprofits, Acadia University and Fundmetric bring together leaders in planned giving, major gifts, donor retention, donor experience, and A.I. adoption experts for an unforgettable experience. All of these sessions are transcended by an emphasis on diversity and inclusion and how this is a tenant of anti-bias both for machine learning and beyond. We'll be discussing many topics during the forum, here are few examples:

Digital Transformation and Opportunities for AI

Learn about the latest in digital transformation and where the opportunities for AI exist for the nonprofit sector.

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in Nonprofit AI

Why efforts in AI development and implementation need to include diverse groups.

The Latest in AI Research and Practical Application

Hear from academics and nonprofit industry leaders alike as they present their latest papers, projects, and practical experience.
