My name is Lillie Hunter and I'm a sophomore here at the university. I am running for event coordinator and I am looking to help people make bonds with others in the department. I believe this past year has limited contact for us all and it's harder to make friends in your classes and within your major. I want to hold different events for CS club so everyone can be engaged with each other safely. My end goal is to create a more open and family-oriented environment. I think it's important to know the people in your major because you never know if one interaction with someone else could possibly lead to a longer-term friendship, a person to network with, or your next business partner. #### Pride Mbabit ### <img width="200" src="https://i.imgur.com/TwCxcsJ.jpg"> Hello everyone my name Is Pride Mbabit.

For the past year and a half, I have had the privilege to serve as the Vice President and Events Coordinator of the Computer Science Club. In that time, the board has implemented several programs that we believe have greatly improved students' experience in the CIS department and division overall. Some of the more significant programs we've introduced include the Mentor-Mentee program and the Code Swarm hackathon. In addition to having more of these programs and events, ensuring the longevity of the CS Club is one of my main goals going forward. When Stephon and I decided to revamp the CS Club, our goal was to empower its members with the confidence and agency to succeed during their time as students and beyond graduation. I would love to continue doing so as your Miss CS for the 2021 - 2022 school year. I hope that I can continue to facilitate these improvements with our leadership in the coming semester.
