Student Organizations

Student organizations provide academic, professional and social support and development. Within these organizations, students build connections that will last a lifetime. Membership in any of the College of Computing’s diverse student organizations will hone your leadership skills and provide a forum for you to learn from fellow students.

College of Computing student organization applications open each Spring semester on January 1st. If you are interested in pitching an idea for an organization, then fill out the application here.
