This website serves as a bridge for students to the professional industry.
A concept thought up by Academic Program Specialist Fendja Larivaux, and to be realized beginning in Fall 2025, Brooklyn College CIS Connect is a place to make resources, opportunities, and information as easily accessible as possible for students in computer and information science.
Many university sources of information fall out of being kept regularly up to date, and can often be scattered across several websites that students may never even be aware of. This website strives to make everything as easy to find as possible, hopefully leaving students with an increased awareness of opportunities they can take advantage of! Whether it’s study materials to complement your academic path, or resources to ease your transition into the industry, Brooklyn College CIS Connect is here to support you!
