Mathematics & Computer Science Clubs
There are many clubs for students at Davidson who are interested in mathematics or computer science.
Association for Women in Mathematics (AWM)
Our purpose as an AWM student chapter is to encourage women and girls to study and to have active careers in the mathematical sciences, and to promote equal opportunity and the equal treatment of women and girls in the mathematical sciences. All students are welcome to join us. United, we hope to learn about academic and career paths, grow through work environment dynamics, and collaborate in experiences.
Bernard Society
The Mathematics and Computer Science Department confers the honor of membership in the Bernard Society of Mathematics on departmental majors and others with outstanding interest and ability in mathematics or computer science. We also publish the Bernard Review, our newsletter for students and alumni. If you would like to become more involved, email mathcs@davidson.edu.
Blockchains
The Davidson Blockchain Club offers a structured, team-oriented environment where students can learn about blockchain technology and its applications. Our goal is to connect students with leading companies in the crypto industry for research opportunities, internships, and real-world projects. Through workshops, guest lectures, and industry collaborations, our members will gain the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in the rapidly growing blockchain space.
Diversity in Science and Computation (DISC)
DISC welcomes students of color in Computer Science, Data Science, Math, and related fields and serves as a place for underrepresented groups in tech to share experiences, overcome challenges, and grow alongside people who relate to you. We're here to build friendships, create a diverse community, and support each other through the challenges of STEM. Whether you're coding for the first time or deep into research, DISC is a space to unwind, grow, and thrive together.
Hack@Davidson
We strive to provide students of all backgrounds with access to resources for fulfilling their potential as computer scientists by holding workshops to prepare for an interview, solve practice problems for competitions, and meet like-minded individuals. We also organize a yearly hackathon open to any experience level. Participants in the hackathon form teams to each build a product in the language of their choice.
ICPC Prep
(Fall only) Students work together to prepare for the ICPC North America Mid-Atlantic Regional Programming Contest. Teams are formed early in the fall semester. Teams travel to Virginia Tech to compete in the contest, which is usually held in November. Contact Prof. Lim for more information.
Women in Computer Science (WiCS)
WiCS is a club for students interested in computer science and computing-related fields. Our goal is to provide a safe and comfortable space for programmers/computer scientists to foster out-of-classroom learning experiences and to encourage creativity and exploration in the computer science community. WiCS aims to foster a supportive environment for students identifying with genders that have traditionally been underrepresented in computer science and computing-related fields. Our club is open to any student, regardless of demographic, that is interested in promoting such an environment.
