    (b) (50 pts) Write your bio and a welcome message (300 to 400 words): Introduce yourself (name, major and year). Write your preferred name if its different from your first name. Include your pronouns (i.e. he/him/his, she/her/hers, they/them/theirs). Write about why you are excited about being a TA or tutor and what type of help you hope to offer students as part of the course. Mention other topics that you can offer advice on that contributes to student success in CS e.g. : research, student orgs, internships, projects, improving coding skills etc etc. Mention hobbies and interests outside academics!

    Save your bio in a .txt file, following the naming convention Bio-CSXX-S19-FirstName-LastInitial.txt and upload it to the Mentor Bio Google folder
