I’m hoping to attend the CSUN conference in March. If you - or someone you
know - is going and looking for a male roommate to split costs with, please
write to me at bhavya.shah125 at gmail.com. If you don’t know me, I’m a blind
graduate student in Computer Science at Stanford, a former NFB scholarship
finalist, and a chill roommate.



Warmly,
