Hello, all!

Oscar Chen, who graduated from the CS department last year, reached out 
to let me know about a *virtual**information session* being given by the 
organization at which he now works.  Career Services is organizing the 
event. We don't have a room number yet, but the event is to be held on 
*Tuesday, Feburary 28th* (two days from now!) at *4:30pm*. Please see 
below for more information about the work they're doing.

Cheers,

Zach

Civis Analytics is a data science and technology startup that was born 
out of Barack Obama’s 2012 re-election campaign to bring the same 
predictive analytics capabilities to other organizations. While much of 
our work remains in the realm of progressive politics, we also work with 
clients such as the UN Refugee Agency, Airbnb, and the United States 
Census, empowering them to make smarter decisions backed by robust data 
science infrastructure and methodologies.

Civis is currently hiring software engineering interns for the upcoming 
summer and Swat alums *Oscar Chen ‘16* and *Bill Wanjohi ‘05* will be 
holding a *virtual information session on 2/28 at 4:30pm*. We’ll be 
talking through topics such as what it’s like to work at a startup, our 
culture and hiring processes, the types of projects and organizations 
Civis engages with, and some high-level overviews of the technologies 
that we’ve developed to make our work possible.

Oscar studied computer science at Swarthmore and after graduating 
started at Civis in September as a software engineer working on Civis’ 
end-to-end data science platform.
Bill graduated with a concentration in Electrical Engineering in 2005. 
He was a founding engineer at Civis Analytics and works to create 
secure, performant, and reliable computer systems.
