[Soc-coordination] [Fwd: Re: Application status] Promotion push ?

[Obey Arthur Liu]

Hi,

We're having fewer applications than expected, which according to other
organizations is a general phenomena.
What we can do, however, is have a little final promotion push to get
more students in before the deadline, on the 4th of April.

I'm pretty sure we have a serious number of DDs who are either
professors or students and can reach students who might be interested.

I made some flyers here:

Try to put them in your CS departments or other interesting places.

Cheers
