// about us

Connected. Supported. Professionally prepared.

The Computer Science Graduate Student Association (CS-GSA) is the official representative body for CS graduate students at Oklahoma State University. We exist to build a connected, supported, and professionally prepared graduate community — fostering collaboration among students, advocating for their interests within the department, and raising awareness of what computer science makes possible on campus and beyond.

Each year we run the New Graduate Student Orientation, networking lunches with faculty and peers, research talks and professional development workshops, and social events to help you recharge. We also pass along department announcements and funding and travel opportunities for the graduate community — so nothing worth applying to slips past you.
