The CSE Scholars Program at the University of Michigan seeks to build a challenging and supportive diverse community of scholars among students who are majors in computer science and computer engineering. Under the guidance of the CSE Scholars Advisory Committee, existing student support programs such as tutoring, mentoring, and recruitment of new students will become service opportunities for the members.
The CSE Scholars program works with the College of Engineering Scholarship Office, the College of Engineering, and the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.
In 2007-2008 the group had approximately 45 students. The group is organized into "Working Groups" which perform different
functions for the group. The different groups are Program Development, Outreach, Recruiting and Retention, and Peer Advising. More information
can be found about the Working Groups at their specific page.
During the 2006-2007 scholastic year, the CSE Scholars were involved in a variety of activites. In the 2007-2008 school year, we hope to build upon our success.
