University of Wisconsin Student ACM
Welcome. You have reached the virtual home of Graduates Anonymous (formerly known as Graduate Mentoring). Here you will find information about who we are, what we do, and how you can become involved. You can also find an assortment of other useful facts and tips about CS department life, which you might not find out on your own. We encourage you to read on and explore the other pages of the site.
First off, we are a group of graduate students just like you. There're no faculty or administrators here telling us what to say or do. We simply want to help fellow CS grad students make it through this often stressful, self-doubting, hectic, and confusing time. We range from 1st years and up, and span most research areas. Short personal profiles and photos (so you know who we are if you see us around) can be found on the aptly-named personal profiles page.
We are here to answer any and all questions you may have about department life, University life, and Madison. We host informal activities to give students an opportunity to relax, as well as provide a place where you can come to discuss issues like choosing courses, preparing for quals, selecting a minor, etc. We can also answer questions about Madison in general, such as where to buy pillow cases, or whether there is any quality Mexican food in town. While Graduates Anonymous initially emerged as an idea to help first-year students find their way, the program is aimed at ALL graduate students. Even if you're a department veteran, please come and ask questions (and help answer others).
Detailed information about our events can be found on the activities page.
If you are interested in helping out, or have ideas for other things we could do, please contact us through the contact page. We are always looking to expand our department coverage and get new faces involved.
