Community Engagement
Faculty, staff and students at the Allen School embrace opportunities to engage with diverse constituencies through a variety of outreach efforts, including programs for K-12 educators and students, industry partners, and alumni. Computing is a rapidly expanding field that offers both economic opportunity and the potential to have real-world impact on a global scale. We engage in a variety of activities that support academic excellence, increase community engagement, and expand economic opportunity within our school, across the campus, and in the broader community.
K-12 Outreach
The Allen School’s K-12 outreach activities aim to broaden participation in computing and ensure that students of all backgrounds feel like they can belong and thrive in the Allen School.
Industry Affiliates
The main objective of the Allen School’s Industry Affiliates Program is to support the mutual needs of industry and academia in computing-related research, innovation, and education. The program fosters technical exchange and collaboration and connects industry employers with Allen School students through career fairs and other appropriate recruiting mechanisms.
Allen School Alumni
The Allen School is proud of our alumni, and we strive to provide our graduates with meaningful ways to engage with faculty and students as well as with each other, including talks and events, mentorship opportunities, and social networking. We also recognize alumni who exemplify excellence and service through our annual Alumni Impact Awards.
