UCSD CSE Summer Series

Hi all!

If you’re getting this email, I think you’re an incoming UCSD CSE transfer student this fall. Welcome!

👋🏻 CSE Summer Series

My name is Joe, I’m a professor in the CSE department. I teach several lower division courses (you may end up taking CSE29 with me in the fall!).

As part of CSE Summer Series, a free online summer program run by the department, I’ll be reaching out with weekly emails, will be providing bunch of different resources:

• A Discord chat server for saying hi and asking me (and each other) questions
• A weekly activity (usually programming) for reviewing content useful for the upcoming year
• Videos, readings, and websites related to (and in some cases straight from) our courses to help you prepare for the year
• Reminders about summer events and opportunities
