UMASSGIVES 2021 IS OVER. CLICK HERE TO SUPPORT UMASS STUDENTS ANY DAY.
Transform a Student’s UMass Experience.

Make a Gift to the CICS Dean’s Opportunity Fund

Your contribution will enable current computer science and information students to focus on their coursework, research, and career goals.

Your UMassGives gift supports:

  • Scholarships for talented undergraduate and graduate students
  • The purchase of equipment necessary for remote learning, including laptops and webcams 
  • Participation in conferences, competitions, and hackathons, including the CRA-W Grad Cohort, the Richard Tapia Celebration of Diversity in Computing, and the Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing 

This year, any gift made to the Dean’s Opportunity Fund will help us reach our goal of 100 individual donors to unlock a matching gift of $10,000! 

Follow along during #UMassGives and every day on our social media accounts Facebook and Instagram (@UMassCICS) and on Twitter  (@UMassCS).

Together we can have an impact on computer science and informatics students at UMass Amherst! Please join us in supporting UMassGives 2021.
