Undergraduate CIS Student Clubs

We have two active undergraduate student clubs:

Computer Science Club

The Brooklyn College Computer Science Club is a community that enables students interested in technology to learn and grow together. The club offers exciting and beginner-friendly events designed to enrich and grow your understanding of in-demand skills, and opportunities for members to network and collaborate on projects and hackathons.

BC WiCS

The BC Women in Computer Science club (BC WiCS) is a strong community dedicated to empowering and encouraging women in CIS. Together, members promote diversity in technology, host CS-related events and workshops, go to (and win!) hackathons, and empower each other.
