Please avoid the second floor men’s bathroom for now.

Thanks!

(^this was a real email from 3/23/23)

CSE Students,

WashU’s Women in Computer Science (WiCS) chapter is hosting an “Ex(xonMobil) Night.” Bring a picture of your ex to burn, and then listen to women who have used their CSE degrees to burn as many fossil fuels as possible talk about how they broke into the industry. FREE DOMINO’S, so scan the QR code to RSVP!

CSE students,

Forwarding the following email about The Tank, an advanced class in the Olin business school which is now accepting applications.

Hello founders,

This email is in a font called “fatface” because that’s what you are if you aren’t currently building your business. Agree? Join THE TANK, an environment for students who get offended when they’re called “future business leaders” because that implies that they’re not already. Founders enrolled in THE TANK can win $10000 for their businesses by showing their dedication to getting ahead. Last semester’s winner legally changed her name to Ruth Less. Beat that, fatface.

Best,

María
