Connect with Student Groups
The school enjoys a strong partnership with many CS-affiliated student groups such as the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) and Women in Computer Science (WCS). We collaborate throughout the year on student-alumni networking opportunities such as the annual ACM Reflections-Projections Conference, HackIllinois, and the annual WCS Alumni and Student Dinner.
Campus Visits
Our faculty and staff—but especially our students—benefit from the real-world experiences that our alumni share with them. Alumni often give formal presentations, attend informal meetings with students and faculty, hold office hours for students interested in more personalized advice, and collaborate with faculty to speak in classes.
