Computer Science Student Organizations
The following computer science groups are sponsored by a computer science faculty/staff
and welcome any majors to join.
Cougar Computer Science (CougarCS), an ACM student chapter, helps students achieve success through academic tutoring,
facilitating connections to industry, hosting socials, and coordinating professional
development events such as technical talks and hackathons. We are interested in technology,
software engineering, and web development.
Computer Science Girls (CSGirls) was founded in 2013 to support women and their impact in technology through workshops,
networking events and tech talks. CSGirls equips members with the tools needed to
further their career and create opportunities for their success.
Computer Science Graduate Student Association (CSGSA) was founded in 2014 to help build a community among MS and PhD students outside the
classroom and research labs.
IEEE-CS
Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineering - Computer Science (IEEE-CS) (formerly IEEE-NSM) was established to nurture the professional development of all student, staff, and
faculty at the University of Houston. We push ourselves to provide fellow students
with tools to improve their technical and interpersonal skills.
Cougarettes, an ACM-W student chapter, focuses on creating a strong community of women in STEM
who support and help one another improve and grow. We accomplish this by 1) building
a sense of camaraderie amongst women in the field, 2) building confidence in women
to acknowledge and be proud of their skillset , and 3) helping women continue to build
their professional and technical skills (e.g. competitions, workshops).
CodeCoogs is UH's coding competition club. No matter the experience level, we strive to help
students improving their coding skills through competitions.
ColorStack
ColorStack's mission is to build a supportive and empowering space for Black and Latinx students
in tech to connect, grow, and access career-building opportunities like internships,
mentorship, and workshops.
