Connect with peers in the Computer Science Department
Interested in starting a student club?
Contact student-groups@cs.uoregon.edu to discuss your idea. CS faculty advisors can help you get started with:
- three or more interested students who are willing to take on club leadership for the current academic year
- faculty advisor (we can help with this if needed)
- regularly scheduled, accessible to all CS majors, meetings; meeting space
- a website for your club clearly identifying the club’s name, primary focus, regular meeting time/place, and contact information
- club information will be posted on the CS student orgs web page.
CS supports student groups! For example, we can:
- post meeting date reminders and other club information to the CS (and DSCI) majors listservs
- provide some funding for club activities, for example, snacks for meetings or travel to regional contest and gatherings.
All funding must be approved in advance! Send email with your funding request to student-groups@cs.uoregon.edu with a cc: to club leadership and faculty advisor.
Computer Science appreciates your initiative! Please let us know if you can think of other ways we can support you.

Oregon Programming Languages Summer School
The Oregon Programming Languages Summer School has been devoted for twenty years to teaching the principles of programming languages to students and professionals. Although the topics vary from year to year, the unifying theme is the importance of fundamental theory to the design and implementation of programming languages, the development of program verification tools, and the application of advanced programming languages to practice. The summer school attracts participants from around the world and is often able to subsidize the participation of qualified attendees with limited resources. More than a thousand participants have attended OPLSS since its inception in 2002. The summer school is sponsored by the National Science Foundation, and by generous grants from numerous companies over the years.
