- UT Austin is proud to have a Top 10 CS program nationwide. We have strong students who are passionate about what they do.
- Disproportionally high impact for our size (500+ students per graduation year), and the small size creates a strongly connected student and alumni community.
- A unique, strong systems track as part of the core curriculum: by sophomore year, all computer science students take computer architecture and operating systems in which they do the following:
- The System Emulator project where students implement a complete processor pipeline, including hazard controls, forwarding, and caching
- Building common components from scratch in operating systems such as memory allocators, virtual memory management, file systems, and threading APIs
- About 80% of our community are CS majors, but we maintain an open-door approach to events and attract students from across the university (everyone from economics to engineering to MIS to Liberal Arts).
- Our community is split evenly by class year, about 20% freshmen, 25% sophomores, 30% juniors, 20% seniors, 5% grad students.
- We have a reputation for holding high-value events and initiatives that students love. We make a point of being inclusive and welcoming at all events, and marketing across a variety of channels (not just CS!)
- An AMA series with a local venture capital fund
- Brought founders and technical leaders to campus, reaching 100+ attendees
- Created significant brand awareness for the fund
- informal networking led to recruiting opportunities for their portfolio companies
- We hosted a tech talk featuring a CTO and engineers from a local startup, which resulted in new hires and strong brand awareness for a B2B SaaS company. Attendees even plastered their laptops with branded stickers, and their logo hats around campus has become a common sight.
- We helped the marketing efforts of a new ride-sharing app to our community. Their launch promotion included a week of free rides. In two weeks, we drove over 210 sign ups to their app and 106 first time rides.
- We initiated a series of "Hack Nights" with a student-focused startup investor. During these events, students would start projects in a single night.
- One project gained significant attention and was featured on the front page of Hacker News
