Welcome back everyone, I hope you're settling into your first week [back] at York after an enjoyable summer. 🏖️
Returning students will remember the CompSci Societies newsletter which has now been upgraded to the Weekly Publication - your weekly round up of upcoming events and announcements from the york.publicans and beyond.
On behalf of all of the york.pub societies, we had an amazing day on Saturday getting to speak to so many of you at the YorkSU Welcome Fair! I would like to personally thank everyone for their interest in the york.pub and look forward to meeting many of you very soon.

Just in case anyone missed the welcome [back] talks, this week we publicly launched the york.pub project; a brand new collaboration initiative that seeks to revitalise the society and extra-curricular opportunities within our department. We're very lucky to have 6 different Computer Science societies as well as a department full of passionate and knowledgeable staff but historically they've all been small, independent actors doing their own.
The york.pub project aims to change this; providing both a platform for collaborative, large-scale events and a single source of truth for everything that is going on in and around the department. Most importantly of all, the york.pub is about building a community among everyone within the department and with shared interests in our subject.
