Community

From alumni meet-ups and industry events to programming contests and student organizations, CICS provides avenues for our alumni, industry partners, students, faculty, and staff to engage with each other, the broader computer science community, and the region.

We also share the excitement of the field with K-12 students and teachers across the Commonwealth and the country through a variety of outreach programs.
