Computer Science/Software Engineering Club
President
-Iowa State University's CSE Club is for the promotion and retention of computer scientists at Iowa State. During my presidency, we had extreme growth and retention in the computer science department. A few notes I got at the end of the school year: "Dear Cassidy, It was fun having as you as the president for my first year of Computer Science at ISU.

A few notes I got at the end of the school year: "Dear Cassidy, It was fun having as you as the president for my first year of Computer Science at ISU. I know I wasn't very active this second semester, but on top of my classes I had a lot more responsibilities at my church, so its been crazy. =) Being a 2nd degree student, however, last semester being my first semester at ISU, I thought I'd have a rough time finding people to connect with. CSE club was a great place to meet people, and it helped my connect to others in my same situation. Knowing other 2nd degree students is a blessing. Having you as the face of the club really eased the transition I believe for a lot of people. You are fun, outgoing, a little crazy (don't worry, we all are), intelligent, and you are full of showmanship(show-womanship?). I'm proud to say I'm a member of CSE, and I know many of us were proud that you were the president the year we joined the ISU CSE family. I wish you the greatest luck in the future, not that you'll need it, and thank you for ensuring the club was so fun, welcoming, and exciting this year. Sincerely, with best regards, Shawn" "Dear Cassidy, My turn to share. As long as I have been advisor for the club, one of my primary goals - and something that I have shared with all presidents – is that the club should make students feel at home. You have been the only one who has really made that happen to such a large extent. You have been a master organizer and have mobilized your team to achieve great things. You have been the first woman president of the club – and have done one of the BEST jobs. I am really so happy with you and your team. Your successor will have a tough time trying to fill your shoes! Dr. Mitra"
