Open a door to the future of computing

The new, signature building for the UMass Amherst Manning College of Information and Computer Sciences is substantially funded by a $75 million capital investment from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. In addition to seeking private donations for the outfitting the building, we are seeking support for our academic and student support programs, including financial aid, experiential learning, and undergraduate research. 

We invite you to be part of the future of computing in the Commonwealth and beyond.
