About Us
The Rice University Computer Science Club is an organization
dedicated to providing Rice students with an informational and
social network of individuals interested in computer science. We
provide professional resources, including resume review sessions,
interview preparation, and weekly lunch talks by Rice faculty and
industry insiders. We also foster community among computer science
students by way of club-hosted study breaks, random outings, and
social lunches.
Sound interesting?
First things first: sign up for our club
mailing list. It's the closest thing we have to an official
membership roster, and we use it to announce club events, job
opportunities, and other computer science-related happenings.
You should also come to one of our weekly lunch talks!
Finally, if you have any suggestions for cool things for the
club to do (whether for career development or just something fun),
then please contact us!
Club Events
Our club hosts a variety of events for computer science
undergraduates. Subscribe to our mailing

able to host, by all means send your suggestions to our socials chair
