Greetings UCLA Computer Science Students!

This is your local Google Engineering Ambassador, letting you know that if you wanted to organize a Google event, utilize more Google products on campus, or had any questions, ideas, or concerns regarding Google, that I'm here to help out!

I'm also here to let every one know when new Google event's will be taking place, like the tech talk and interview workshop that happened earlier this quarter. Be on the lookout next quarter for some events next quarter regarding new products or workshops.

To reach me, just send me an email at fozziethebeat@gmail.com, or you can swing by my office in Boelter Hall 4685.

In addition, I wanted to get an idea of how students on campus are using some Google products. If you could, please take a few minutes to fill out a survey regarding Google Docs. Everyone who fills out a survey, and provides contact information, will be entered into a raffle to win either a slick Google water bottle or a Google Wave account (Up to 50 people will get a water bottle and 10 will get a wave account), so don't be timid!
