GenZpire 1.0

GenZpire 1.0, held on 20th August 2025, served as the introductory session for the CSSL GenZ Chapter of UCSC. The event welcomed first and second-year undergraduate students, offering them insights into the chapter’s mission and activities. A highlight of the session was an informative talk by Mr. Suvin Nimnaka, Senior Software Engineer at WSO2, who shared valuable guidance on balancing volunteering with academic responsibilities. The event successfully introduced participants to both CSSL and the GenZ Chapter, and immediately following the session, the official recruitment process for new members commenced. The day ended with fun games and activities which gave an opportunity of casual mingling and networking for the attendees. GenZpire 1.0 played a crucial role in expanding the chapter’s reach and fostering a culture of engagement and leadership among UCSC undergraduates.
