As the nation’s second-oldest Department of Computer Sciences, we’re defined by our track record of pioneering research, students, and alumni. For more than 60 years, our competitive curricula and outreach programs have supported a growing workforce of computer science professionals here in Wisconsin — and beyond.
Today, we’re the most popular major at one of the world’s leading universities. Yet as state and federal sources of support for the university shrink, private support plays an increasingly critical role in maintaining this level of excellence and supporting the student experience.
Your gift ensures we remain a top department by supporting:
- student-facing events such as student advisory board meetings, trivia nights, research fairs, hackathons, and socials
- student organizations like SACM, WACM, the Data Science Club, and Cheesehacks
- travel funds for students to attend career-building events like the Grace Hopper Conference
- “Welcome Weekend” events for prospective graduate students
Help us train the next generation of computational leaders by making your gift today.
