Upsilon Pi Epsilon Honor Society for the Computing and Information Disciplines

Upsilon Pi Epsilon (UPE) is an honorary society whose membership consists of outstanding undergraduate and graduate students in Computing and Information Disciplines. Rhode Island College established the Rhode Island Alpha Chapter of UPE in 2011 and continues to induct new members into the society each spring.

Guidelines

UPE members are chosen not only for their scholastic achievement but also for distinguishing themselves as true professionals by meeting the standards of the society. Membership is limited to those who can effectively achieve the original goals of the society.

Goals

The UPE Honor Society's goals include:

  • the recognition of outstanding talent in the field
  • the promotion of high scholarship
  • the establishment and maintenance of high standards
  • the representation of the computer disciplines in interdisciplinary communications
  • the encouragement of individual contributions to society through computing disciplines

Endorsements and Affiliation

UPE is the first, and only, existing international honor society in the Computing and Information Disciplines. It has received endorsements from the two largest computer organizations in the world, the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) and the IEEE Computer Society (IEEE-CS). UPE is a member of the Association of College Honor Societies (ACHS).
