Our purpose is to assist students to continue their growth by improving on their current skills and building new ones in the field of computing. Students attending the Ying Wu College of Computing voluntarily apply to become mentors. Many of them have been in your footsteps and it's with their enthusiasm they share their experiences in the professional industry, college life, and obstacles they have gone through to excel in the computing realm. This is a flexible program to meet your needs and help you get a seat at the table.
