Student Organizations

Get Involved – Join a Club!

Joining a student club or organization is a great way to get involved. You’ll meet people who share the same interests – building lifelong friendships – while gaining professional experience, and honing your leadership skills. 

Our department is home to four student-led organizations, including: CedarLUG, Women in Computing, UNI Computer Club and UNISEC (Cyber Security Club).
