Kappa Mu Epsilon (KME) is a national organization founded to bind together in a common fellowship those who are serious students of the mathematical sciences. KME stresses the importance not only of learning particular mathematical topics, but also gaining an overall appreciation of the beauty and importance of the mathematical sciences in many fields of endeavor. At the local level, one of our goals is to bring the students and faculty together outside of class.

The Tru Women in Computer Science (TWiCS) is an organization of women students who have an interest in computer science. It is an official University organization sponsored by the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science and partially supported by a grant from the Boeing Company. You don't need to be a CS major or minor to participate, you just need to be enthusiastic about computer science.
The focus of the organization is for members to support each other and to have fun through hands-on activities, discussions, outside speakers, tutoring sessions, field trips, and social events. The group meets regularly throughout the semester every other Thursday at 6 pm, with informal tutoring sessions on off-weeks.
