What is SCS Day?

SCS Day is a celebration of diversity and talent in the School of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University. Join us for a dynamic day of events including games, jam sessions, art exhibits, an evening talent show, a battle amongst faculty members, and plenty of SCS swag.

All members of the SCS community, including undergraduate and graduate students, faculty, staff, and alumni, are invited to display their talents and share their skills in a fun and relaxed atmosphere.

All members of the CMU community are welcome to attend!
