Upsilon Pi Epsilon (UPE)

Upsilon Pi Epsilon is the first and only international honor society for the Computing Sciences. Founded in 1967 by six students at Texas A&M University, UPE recognizes and promotes scholarship and professionalism. In the years since, UPE chapters have been established in over 120 institutions of higher education around the world to honor their students in the computing sciences.

The Nu chapter of UPE at UC Berkeley was founded in 1995. We continue to serve Computer Science undergraduate students in the College of Letters and Science. We are committed in promoting more social interaction and communication, and relationship between undergraduate students, faculty, and industry in the computing discipline. We identify with academic excellence, and work to assist undergraduate computer science students with opportunities which are otherwise not available in the curriculum. We offer assistance in lower-division labs, luncheons with faculty members, info-sessions from the industry, and a variety of social events every semester.
