From producing graduates who are ready for today’s tech-oriented jobs to spinning off young companies to working with companies on research projects, the UW-Madison Department of Computer Sciences is one of the university’s fastest-growing assets.

Learn more about the department’s work and what it can mean for the Wisconsin economy during the Tuesday, Feb. 28, Tech Council Innovation Network luncheon in Madison.

Part of the UW-Madison School of Computer, Data and Information Sciences, the department is home to about 2,200 undergraduate majors – a growing number that prompted the start of construction on a new campus home near the Discovery Building. Privately funded, the building will also house the Center for High Throughput Computing, the American Family Insurance Data Science Institute and the Department of Biostatistics & Medical Informatics.
