CS Student Opportunity Series (CS SOS)
Welcome to the CS Student Opportunity Series!
The CS Student Opportunity Series (SOS) provides tools and resources for undergraduate students in CS majors to grow academically, professionally, and personally. Each semester, students hear presentations from experts about a variety of topics.
Thanks to students from CS Registered Student Organizations, each presentation includes a student panel to help CS students practically implement strategies for success.
Drinks and snacks are provided at each on-campus event. SOS events will remain virtual until further notice.
SOS Communi-Tea
Communi-Tea events will return in Fall 2022. Stay tuned and stay well!
We can talk about classes, changes to instruction, job hunts, stressful things, new games, or other topics that are meaningful to you. Bring your own tea or coffee and connect with CS students and advising in this weekly event. No worries if you cannot join at the beginning or stay the whole time--join when you are available. All are welcome!
