Student Groups

Find Your Tech Community

Student organizations provide a great way to build community, explore your interests, and grow your skills beyond the classroom. By joining a club, you can connect with peers who share your goals, work on projects together, and develop leadership and teamwork skills.

The School of Computer and Data Sciences offers several opportunities to engage in student groups.

Want to Start Your Own Group?

If you don’t find an organization that aligns enough with your interests and goals, consider starting your own group. Contact either student-groups@cs.uoregon.edu (Department of Computer Science) or dsciadvising@uoregon.edu (Department of Data Science) to discuss your idea. Departments may be able to provide help with communications and some funding for club activities.

Clubs need:

  • Three or more interested students who are willing to take on leadership for the current academic year.
  • A faculty advisor (we can help with this if needed)
  • Regularly scheduled meetings and meeting space
  • A website or social media presence for your club, identifying the club’s name, focus, and contact information.
