The primary goal of the Rising Sophomore Summer Program in Computer Science (CSMore) is to broaden the participation of underrepresented minorities and first-generation college students in computer science through interactive learning, research exposure, and social engagement.
This year, CSMore will be held on July 18, 2022 – August 12, 2022 at Cornell University in Ithaca, NY. Below is a brief overview of the program:
- CSMore will prepare its participants for CS 2800, CS 3110, and CS 3410
- Topics Covered: Tech Bootcamp, Discrete Structures, Computer System Organization, Functional Programming, and Data Structures
- Tech Bootcamp: Owolabi Legunsen
-
Pre-2800 Discrete Structures: Noah Stephens-Davidowitz & Eva Tardos
-
Pre-3110 Data Structures and Functional Programming: Dexter Kozen
-
Pre 3410-H Computer System Organization (Hardware): Adrian Sampson & Chris Batten
-
Pre 3410-C Computer System Organization and Programming (C): Rachit Agarwal
- CSMore participants will receive on-campus housing accommodations, meals, snacks, and course materials at no cost
- $1,000 will be provided to each participant who successfully completes the CSMore program
- CSMore participants will engage in social activities (on and off-campus) with their peers, faculty members, and Cornell Bowers CIS DEI team

Please Note: 2022 CSMore participants will be invited to participate in CSMore Works. Each participant will receive $500 per semester to enroll in the Academic Excellence Workshops for CS 2800, CS 3110, and CS 3410. In addition, participants will be mentored by a participant from CSMore 2020 or 2021 who have successfully completed CS 2800, CS 3110, or CS 3410. Cornell Bowers CIS DEI will cover the meals associated with each mentoring session.
