Community events

Outside the classroom, several activities help create a sense of community among computing students and faculty.

  • The department organizes a fall and spring picnic, often held in cooperation with the Department of Mathematics and Statistics.
  • Faculty and students get together informally for lunch at noon on Fridays.
  • Most weeks, students and faculty meet for our Thursday Extras lecture series, with refreshments and conversation before a talk by a student, faculty member, or visitor.
