Our Vision

Expanding the reach of computer science

Community Service

We are dedicated to providing for our community through service acts which have a positive impact on the community.

Leadership & Mentorship

Our members are given mentorship training to ensure that they can best expand computer science through education outreach. Members have many opportunities to practice these valuable skills and share their valuable knowledge and experience.

Interdisciplinary Inclusion

We believe that everyone belongs in computer science, and we actively include groups which are traditionally not included in the field.

Professional Development

Building the skills of our members

We aim to teach our members valuable skills which prepare them for future professional opportunities. We place an emphasis on practicing communication, team work, and leadership.

Experience relevant to industry

Our initiatives provide members with opportunities to grow their skills related to computer science. A number of our initiatives such as the DevTeam allow members to apply computer science in ways that are directly applicable to internships and jobs.
