Hello from USB!

The Computer Science Undergraduate Board is dedicated to improving the student experience for CS/DS/AI students at Purdue - whether by managing CS193, hosting forums for student advocacy, or maintaining a database of undergrad-tailored resources, USB is continually creating initiatives that will uphold our values.

Our Mission

The Computer Science Undergraduate Student Board was established in 1999 to promote a supportive and engaged community within Purdue's Computer Science Department, and to use its relationship with faculty, the Computer Science Corporate Partners Program, and administration to advocate for the student body.

Our Objectives

  • Advocacy

    USB cares about improving the student experience. Visit our daily office hours or attend the undergraduate town hall to discuss ways to improve our community.

  • Events

    We put on events that matter, from fun events like Pizza with Professors and Freshman Social Hour, to professional opportunities through career oriented panels and events.

  • Resources

    We're here to help CS, DS, and AI students. We teach CS193 Tools for first-years, run a free help room for intro CS courses, as well as maintain a tutor list, blog, and student wiki.
