The Consortium for Computing Sciences in Colleges (CCSC) is a nonprofit organization divided into ten regions that roughly match geographical areas in the United States.
The purpose of the consortium[2] is to: "promote, support and improve computing curricula in colleges and universities; encompass regional constituencies devoted to this purpose; and promote a national liaison among local, regional and national organizations devoted to this purpose."
CCSC regions include: Conferences are typically held annually by region, and include presentation of peer-reviewed papers, as well as student papers, posters, and programming contests, workshops, and special sessions for innovative assignments and approaches in the area of computer science technology and education.
[3][4][5] CCSC publishes the Journal of Computing Sciences in Colleges,[6] containing the proceedings of each annual regional conference.
The journal is distributed to approximately 600 faculty members from 350 colleges and universities.
