Hey all, I'm a new developer, earning a bachelor's in CS this fall. I'd like to contribute to the bitcoin project, but I don't know where to start. Is there some pressing work that the protocol needs that a new developer can help with?

The first thing that you need to do is to get yourself acquainted with the source code. Pick it apart and learn how it works. Once you have familiarized yourself well enough with the code, then you would be more adequately equipped to find any existing vulnerabilities in it and offer a lasting and secure solution. Simply pointing you to random bits and pieces of the code does not help anyone.
