Before the fall semester, the UMass Lowell Kennedy College of Sciences wants to give you a chance to stay on campus, meet your classmates and build skills to help you succeed in computer science.
That’s why we created SoarCS, where you will:
- Learn coding skills
- Discover software development tools
- Stay in campus housing with all meals included
- Meet faculty
- Connect with new and returning students
- Gain experience with real college life such as study skills, wellness, clubs and recreation
- Find out how careers in computer science can carry you into many fields
- Attend Red Hat’s DevConf.US conference in Boston on Saturday, Aug. 17
Open to all first-year, full-time computer science students, SoarCS is committed to creating a diverse and inclusive environment. We highly encourage students from multicultural backgrounds, first-generation students and female students to take advantage of the program.
Thanks to our sponsors, the program is free. Space is limited, so apply by Sunday, June 30.
