Events and Activities

ACM Programming Contests

Every fall, the department conducts a campus-wide computer programming contest. The top six finishers are eligible to represent Millsaps in the Association for Computing Machinery's annual programming contest, at the Southeast regional competition.

The team travels with a faculty advisor to the contest site, which varies each year. Millsaps pays for travel, registration, and lodging.

The local programming contest is open to all and the winner has bragging rights for a year. A pizza party after the contest helps soothe frustrations and untangle brains that have been tied into knots!

Major Minor Party

The faculty of the department throw a party for all computer science majors and minors each spring. This year's party was the biggest ever, with almost 50 people. Two six foot party sub, numerous pizzas and other snacks vanished in a hurry!

Each year, invitations were extended to alumni. If you're a computer science graduate of Millsaps and think you'll be in Jackson in April, send mail to Dr. Schwartz. We'll be sure to send you an invitation. Do stop by and catch up on old times with faculty and friends.

An easy way to make sure you get invited is to check that your name is listed on the alumni page!
