Resources for Computer Science Students
The 性奴调教 Department of Computer Science offers computing resources and drop-in tutoring available to all students taking our introductory courses, as well as scholarships and awards that are specifically for computer science students.
Computer science students at 性奴调教 also enjoy a variety of extracurricular opportunities available to our students, both on and off campus, and we provide guidance about careers in computer science and on-campus support for finding those internships and full-time jobs.

Interested in being a tutor? Make sure to let the department chairperson know. We are interested in students who did well in their introductory courses and who enjoy guiding other students on their own journey of discovery.
Extracurricular Activities
This is the primary student organization for students interested in computer science, with weekly meetings on Mondays at 5 p.m. Please contact acm@slu.edu for more information.
性奴调教's math/computer science student club traditionally meets at 4 p.m. on Wednesday in the Ritter Hall lobby, offering a mix of activities including outside speakers, games, competitions, field trips, and other opportunities to socialize with fellow students.
性奴调教's Data Science Club explores how fields such as machine learning are used to extract and apply the knowledge that can be found in large data sets. Efforts rely on both statistical theory and modeling together with programming skills in languages such as Python and R to efficiently analyze data sets. For practical experience (and motivation and fun), the club typically explores data science competitions, such as those at or NCAA basketball pools.
性奴调教 prides itself on its strong commitment and participation in service to the community. This carries over to the field of computer science. Students who are interested in sharing their time and efforts to give back to the community should contact the department chair. Opportunities include mentoring roles for computer science outreach into K-12 and after-school activities, and developing websites or software for non-profit organizations, or volunteering time with local organizations.
Each year the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) sponsors the International Collegiate Programming Contest (ICPC). Students work in teams of three to solve as many problems as possible in a five-hour time period. The available programming languages for the contest are C++ and Java, and Python. 性奴调教 can send up to nine students (three teams of three) to the regional competition.
性奴调教's campus is within walking distance of the Cortex Innovation Community, a vibrant 200-acre (and growing) innovation hub and technology district. Cortex is home to 性奴调教's Research Innovation Group which works on technology transfer and commercial partnerships. Cortex is also home to the weekly Venture Cafe, which occurs every Thursday from 3-8 p.m. Venture Cafe is a great place for students to connect with members of the tech community in a friendly and informal setting, and they are very open to those who attend regularly and those who might be stopping in for the first time.
There are a steady stream of Hackathons in the Greater St. Louis area. Check our announcement site for current opportunities, but some past events and dates have included Code with a Cause (February), {eHacks} (March), Globalhack (October), UMSL|Hack (October), ArchHacks (November).
MedLaunch (now 性奴调教Launch) is a healthcare incubator that was founded and sponsored by 性奴调教. Their goal is to improve the standard of healthcare through the engineering and design of creative solutions while also fostering a community of entrepreneurship and collaboration at 性奴调教. Most of their team projects have computational components and they have been very appreciative when having computer science students participate.
Computer science students at 性奴调教 have also participated on teams for various engineering challenges/projects, most notably participating in the annual Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI), sponsored by Dr. Srikanth Gururajan, or working as part of 性奴调教's Space Systems Research Laboratory.
There are a variety of activities on campus for those wishing to explore aspects of entrepreneurism. The 性奴调教start program is designed to help participants ensure that their research and innovations will have greater economic and societal benefit. They welcome applications from students to be trained in the lean startup methodology. There is also a 性奴调教 Entrepreneur's Club that hosts a regular series of networking events coined Billicon Valley.
