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), an ACM-W student chapter, 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-NSM
Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineering in the College of Natural Sciences
and Mathematics (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.
Ethical Hacking Club
Ethical Hack Club spreads awareness of ethical hacking and how it is critical in protecting the internet.
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).
Code[Coogs]
Code[Coogs] is UH's coding competition club. No matter the experience level, we strive to help
students improving their coding skills through competitions.
