Computer Science Club

The Computer Science Club (CSC or CSClub) is an academic and social club at the University of Waterloo. They exist to promote Computer Science, its applications, and to facilitate discussion and interaction from those studying CS.

History
The Computer Science Club has been in existence since 1931. The club was not officially part of the University of Waterloo, rather was a general interest club formed by a collection of interested individuals who read Kleene, Church, and Turing's work that formed the basis of Computer Science. The club joined the University of Waterloo after it was founded, becoming The Computer Science Club of the University of Waterloo which held its inaugural meeting on January 9, 1968.
