We are in software tech, and were looking for a comp sci student to fill a short term paid position. Nothing too advanced, but interesting work. <br /> We emailed the dept, and someone told us to post to a mailing list. We did with a very attractive description, and got no response from students at all. I wonder if any are subscribed to the list. <br /> I also know a couple grad students in the dept who talk about the lack of resourcefulness and motivation of the students there. When I asked them to pass around mention of the position, they said that none of their classmates likely would be interested or able. <br /> <br /> There seem to be some great ideas in the paper that unfortunately don't match up with the current climate on campus at all. <br /> It's great to see the issues being discussed and hopefully some of the ideas implemented regarding campus culture to improve the entrepreneurial energy and academic-private enterprise interaction here.
