UP CURSOR

History

We Filipinos love our technology. Cell phones, digital cameras, MP3 players, and of course, computers! We have embraced the digital lifestyle within less than three decades and it has made it into our hearts in one way or another.

In the heart of it all, an organization made up of bright minds rose up to be on the top of their brood. For 25 years (since 1983), the UP Association of Computer Science Majors or more commonly known as UP CURSOR has proven that studying the ins and outs of software engineering can be both fulfilling and fun!

Activities

UP CURSOR is a non-sectarian, socio-academic organization based in the UP College of Engineering. It is recognized as the only organization in the Department of Computer Science. It sponsors many activities that foster camaraderie and friendship among Computer Science Majors, not only from UP, but from other universities as well. Some of our notable activities are the CS4CS Freshmen Orientation, Computorient for the Computer Science freshmen, and CURSOR Week. It also celebrates the Computer Science Week, where seminars, exhibits, and other events are held, headed by JAVA CUP, an Interschool Programming Competition. During the most – celebrated Engineering week, UP CURSOR hosts a number of fun activities including Finger Olympics (PC and Console gaming competition), You Gotta Lick It (ice cream eating contest), and the much awaited UP Sigaw, UP Hataw Cheering Competition. Through the years, UP CURSOR has proven its significance and made its presence felt in the College of Engineering. UP CURSOR won the EOEA (Engineering Organization Excellence Award) in 2006 and UP CURSOR is a consistent placer in the Engineering Week. No wonder that after 26 years, UP CURSOR is now an integral part of the department, the college, and of the university.
