Members of the theory lab show off this year's winning T-shirt design. This was CSEG's first year holding a community-wide design contest — the winning design was selected from submissions across the department. Congratulations to the winning designer, and thank you to everyone who participated!

CSEG is a student-run organization that represents CSE graduate students at the University of Michigan. We serve as a voice for graduate students and work to build a strong, inclusive community through social events, networking opportunities, and professional development. All CSE graduate students are automatically members of CSEG.
Programs and projects CSEG runs to support our grad community.
Collaboration and Communication
CSEG helps you connect with current graduate students through research talks, job postings, seminars, shared resources, and event announcements. We foster a collaborative environment where students can learn from one another.
Advocating for Graduate Students
CSEG represents graduate students at faculty meetings, in admissions discussions, and during faculty recruitment. We ensure graduate student perspectives are heard and considered in departmental decisions.
Academic and Community Support
CSEG hosts initiatives for both Master’s and PhD students designed to enrich the graduate experience both professionally and socially. We support academic growth, peer connection, and engagement across cohorts.
Building Community Outside the Lab
CSEG organizes a variety of social events such as cookouts, happy hours, intramural sports, bike rides, and seasonal activities. These events help students relax, form friendships, and build community within CSE.
Fostering Departmental Connection
CSEG hosts tea time, a (mostly) weekly gathering where graduate students, faculty, and staff come together over snacks and drinks. Hosted in the grad lounge, it is a casual space to take a break and meet people outside of your lab.
