Student Resources

There are a large variety of resources available to students, both external and internal. Students are encouraged to participate in School of Computing Student Groups such as the Student Chapter of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), Jaguar Women in Technology (J-WIT), DayZero (a cybersecurity competition club), and the Video Game Development Club (VGDC).
