History and Mission

About

History and Mission

The Harvard Computer Society is a student-run organization at Harvard College that has been a driving force in the development and deployment of computers at Harvard since 1983. We often bring in speakers from industry and academia to talk about their work and experiences, and we frequently host study breaks and other events to built community. While we previously provided the infrastructure for Harvard student mailing lists, we have now transitioned to providing resources for all students at Harvard interested in computer science.
