What is CSESoc?

CSESoc is the constituent society for all students who study Computer Science, Software Engineering, Computer Engineering, Bioinformatics Engineering and Masters of IT.

Some of the work we do to support CSE students are:

• Social events to help you meet people and make new friends
• Study sessions and workshops, when you’re on that COMP1511 grind
• Competitions and project development to up-skill yourself
• Career events to help you network and get a job you value
• Creative content to inspire, educate and entertain
• And so much more!

Where can we stay up to date with all of these events and opportunities? Like our Facebook page, follow our Instagram and join our Facebook Group and Discord Server.

The CSESoc Team

The CSESoc Team has three focuses – Internals, Externals and Technical – which are led by the elected Executive Team. These focuses are further divided into 12 different portfolios which are led by a wonderful team of Directors. See the full list of Executives and Directors and portfolio descriptions here.

Executives

Joyce He (Co-President)

Hi! I’m Joyce, 3rd yr comp sci/commerce student and arguably the better half of the iconic Co-President duo 😸 In my first year, I was encouraged by my future Outreach director at the CSESoc O-Week stall to apply for subcom. ☺️ The rest is history from first year camp, roadtrips, working with the society to run events for the student community and being able to meet so many lovely people, I’ve made so many core memories in uni.

💗💛 If I could give one piece of advice to my first yr self it is try new things like applying for subcom at CSESoc or passion/hobby soc! 🌟 I never imagined I would get to where I am today without trying new things but I did and I have no regrets! 🥹😋 Ps: I love digicams and capturing memories. Currently mother of 3 📸 👧

Susie Xia (Co-President)

Hello hello hellooooo!!! I'm one (the better half) of the co-presidents! I'm 3rd year Computer Science/Science and I love reading, shopping, and watching different shows, but mainly I LOVE TO YAP! Some advice I have in case you haven't already heard; put yourself out there even if it's a little uncomfy, a little scary and a little unknown.. join a society! Join a club! Join anything you can! If I didn't follow this advice, I wouldn't be where I am today (constantly reminiscing over my amazing first year and all of the memories I've made with all of the wonderful people I've met)!
