About Us

The Computer Science Student Council (CSSC) at Stanford University is a council aimed to strengthen the CS community at Stanford, enhance the experience of our university life, and create long-term traditions in the CS community at Stanford. The student council serves CS undergraduates, CS master's students, and those with an interest in CS at Stanford.
