Undergraduate Student Organizations

RUSLUG is the Student Linux User Group (SLUG); an organization on campus focused on promoting the use and continued development of free and open-source software (FOSS) but invites any type of computer enthusiast to participate. This includes developers, system administrators, and tinkers. We emphasize that openness, sustainability, and security should be concerns of developers in how they distribute their software. In contrast to many other computing clubs on campus, SLUG gives much attention to hobbyist, historical, and other non-strictly commercial uses for computers.

HackRU is Rutgers' flagship hackathon – we welcome hackers of all skill levels! With corporate sponsors, mentorship, and social events, we have everything you need for a memorable weekend. It's completely free; you only need to register and show up!  p.s. we have over $4000+ in prizes! 

This organization aims to create a network for students interested in cloud computing. It provides a platform for discussions, debates, and socializing related to this field. It also helps students build their professional skills, such as resume building, and hosts speaker events to facilitate networking with cloud professionals. The main goal is to inform students about cloud computing careers and teach them the necessary skills to pursue them. 

The Creation of Games Society (COGS) is a project-based club focused on providing students with the skills necessary to learn and master game development skills in the modern industry. During our weekly meetings, members can access focus groups, mentors, and peers to help learn skills in creating their favorite video games. We also host social game nights (to just sit back and play video games) and demo days to show off what we've made throughout the semester!

Rutgers Competitive Programming is a club that aims to form and train official Rutgers teams to excel at programming competitions like the prestigious ACM-ICPC. In weekly meetings, we will teach you how to solve tough problems covering algorithmic and mathematical concepts like geometry, number theory, dynamic programming, and graph theory, to name a few. RUCP will stretch your problem-solving skills, let you apply what you learn in class, and prepare you for coding interviews at the top tech companies!

RUMAD is the Mobile App Development Club at Rutgers. Our goal is to empower the Rutgers community by exploring and instructing on application development through our two programs: the Accelerator and the Incubator. Additionally, we strive to position our members for success in their software engineering careers through recruitment events, resume reviews, and more. Each fall, we mentor a group of students to start and complete projects involving both frontend and backend development in our Accelerator Program. The Incubator Program, which runs in the spring, gives mentees the opportunity to develop, market, and present a complete project while receiving direct mentorship and career advice from our senior mentors.

The Undergraduate Student Alliance of Computer Scientists (USACS) is Rutgers' premier student organization for every and any aspiring computer scientist! We host weekly workshops on topics not taught in class, mentorship services and programs, outreach opportunities to alumni and companies, diversity and community bonding events, and technical project building / open-source contributions. Lastly, we host weekly meetings to examine the state of Rutgers CS and discuss future events. We are here to serve and listen to your wants and needs! Come to a meeting to find out more about what we offer!

Rutgers Women in Computer Science provides a community in which women feel empowered to create with code. Our network connects female undergraduates to a social community, professional opportunities, and each other. Throughout our mentorship program and community discussions, we are able to foster a sense of belonging and solidarity, creating a strong sisterhood for Rutgers women in tech. We encourage and promote educational and professional development through various networking events, tech talks, and our alumni network. Come out to our meetings every Wednesday from 8-9 PM at the CAVE! Subscribe to our mailing list to be updated on our meetings and events! If you have any questions, please email us at .
