InclusiveCS

The Department of Computer Science is committed to building a broad community of students, staff, and faculty who value the worth and contributions of every individual.
In the spirit of Ut Prosim (That I May Serve), we seek to recruit, welcome, mentor, and educate graduate and undergraduate students who are passionate about benefitting society through technological innovation.
This work involves all stakeholders of the department, including alumni and friends who contribute time and resources. These efforts benefit greatly from the generosity of donors to our endowed Barbara G. Ryder Fund for Excellence in Computer Science.
