Dean Hal Stern, Associate Dean Tony Givargis, academic counselors, as well as alumni and current students, will share their perspectives about the Bren School's strengths and its uniqueness from other computer science programs or schools. You and your guest will learn more about the curriculum, our faculty and the kinds of academic support we provide to ensure your academic success. You will meet current students and learn about the many opportunities for research, community and campus involvement, and leadership that await you outside of the classroom.  

Specifically, you will have opportunities to:

» Learn from Bren School faculty, alumni and current students about the value of an information and computer sciences education. 
» Find out about opportunities for faculty-guided research.
» Ask current students and academic counselors questions about the Bren School, UC Irvine, programs of study and academic planning.

Participation is free, and we recommend wearing comfortable shoes and clothing for the walking tour of Bren ICS research/project demo tour, the optional Computer Game Science presentation, and the optional 1 hour UCI campus tour with brief visit to the Middle Earch housing community.

If you are in need of further information, please contact the Bren School Student Affairs office at (949) 824-5156 or ucounsel@uci.edu.
