Your tax-deductible gift of any size is welcome. You can give to the general fund, or to a new or existing Donor Group. Our goal is to create and fund UTAships ($50,000) and Head UTAships ($100,000). UTAships can include tributes to designees of your choice and/or support our ongoing effort to create opportunities for Women and Underrepresented Minorities in computer science.
The UTA program has been a hallmark of Brown CS for over 50 years. Recently, we created an endowment to celebrate it and make sure that it thrives for generations to come. Thanks to more than 500 donors, we’ve raised over $10M, which will support 4 Meta UTAs, close to 20 Head UTAs, and close to 200 UTAs per year. The effort was emblematic of how we’ve done things at Brown CS for more than a half-century: rally a large group of people to do something never done before and expect them to exceed expectations.If you didn’t get a chance to donate, the campaign is still open. If you want to help create an opportunity for another UTA, just use the Donate Now form on the right. You can also get more information about the UTA program, see how donating works, look at a list of donors and recipients, or ask us any questions.
“We’re immensely grateful to the more than 500 donors who have helped us reach that ambitious goal, and to the group of alums who led the campaign,” says Ugur Çetintemel, Professor and Brown CS Department Chair. “Our UTA program, in place since 1965, has allowed literally thousands of undergraduates to contribute to all aspects of instruction and play a mentoring role that's vital to the quality of coursework, the educational experience of their peers, and their own personal growth.”
One of the signature elements of the campaign was its use of crowdfunding, including a website that enabled people to donate and watch a “scoreboard” that showed progress toward the goal in real time. Gifts ranged from $5 to $1,000,000, creating a mosaic of donors that includes alums and friends of all ages, numerous professions, and many different life experiences.
Some donors formed affinity groups, such as the Women of CS ‘83, ‘84, and ‘85, creating UTAships whose name reflects their graduation year, or ones that honor or memorialize someone special. Not only will their tributes last as long as Brown CS does, showing appreciation for such people as Tom Doeppner, Doreen Green, Marie Moses, Randy Pausch, and Andy van Dam, many of the UTAships are designated for women or underrepresented minorities, helping add to the diversity of the Brown CS community. In the end, more than 500 gifts have funded 4 Meta UTAships, close to 20 Head UTAships, and close to 200 UTAships each year.
“We’re thrilled that the UTA program will continue to thrive and benefit new generations of students,” remarks Professor Andy van Dam, who started the program in 1965, “and our UTAs feel the same,” Meta-TA Zach Kirschenbaum, who maintains he’ll always be a CS 15 Humor TA, says, “The UTA program means a lot more to me than grading and debugging code. It’s about the sense of community with your staff, the ownership you have over a course, and the feeling of reward you get when a student has that ‘aha’ moment – it’s what keeps me coming back semester after semester. I’m extremely grateful for having the opportunity to serve as a UTA and MTA, and I’m excited for others to have the same opportunity.”
The UTA program has always been one of the cornerstones of Brown CS and its undergraduate student experience. “It turned out to be a game changer,” says alum Karen Catlin. “Being a UTA made me feel like I belonged. I loved being part of the Brown CS community, hanging out after hours with other undergrads and grad students, getting to know faculty and staff, and contributing to the success of CS courses. And the sense of community was especially important to me, a newbie to coding. I thrived because of it.”
The UTA program has expanded as Brown CS has grown, but in recent years, due to soaring enrollment and new federal employment regulations, it’s become dramatically more expensive. At the moment, more than one in six students at Brown is a CS concentrator, requiring up to 50 UTAs in some classes and a total of over 250 per semester, with more than 300 expected in the fall. At the same time, Brown faces increased budget pressure because of its admirable need-blind, no-loan financial aid policy. This endowment helps ensure that this one-of-a-kind program will operate at its current level for years to come.

Andy van Dam has described UTAs as a collaborative troupe spanning generations, making the future happen. More than fifty years ago, Brown pioneered the idea of computer science UTAs; if you work in our field today, you've either met one or you were one. Serving as a UTA is an opportunity like no other, and comes at a critical time in a student's life, providing them with a new level of education, self-development, and often much-needed financial support.
The UTA program is dramatically more expensive than it once was, due to soaring enrollment and new federal employment regulations. At the same time, Brown faces increased budget pressure because of its admirable need-blind financial aid policy.
UTAs contribute to all aspects of instruction and play a mentoring role that's vital to the quality of coursework, the educational experience of their peers, and their own personal growth. You yourself may have benefited--by being a UTA or by being mentored by one. Today, you can help Brown give the same opportunity to someone who wouldn't otherwise have it. We welcome contributions from former UTAs, CS graduates, families, friends of the department, and all who want to acknowledge and support this invaluable program.
Donations can be made individually or be added to a pool named for your graduating class or for a group that you and your friends create. For $50,000, you or your group can name a UTAship, and for $100,000, you or your group can name a Head UTAship. You can also designate the position(s) you've endowed to support UTAships for Women in Computer Science or Underrepresented Minorities, reinforcing Brown's strong ongoing efforts to encourage diversity. Our goal is to get maximum participation and demonstrate the importance of the UTA program for so many students past, present, and future.
Contribute whatever you can individually and your contribution will be added to those of others from your graduating class. If you and your classmates raise enough, a UTAship will be named for your graduating class (e.g. "The Class of '68 UTAship") and you will be listed. We have set some goals for the number of UTAships we hope each class can sponsor, based on the number of graduates and the years since graduation, and we will have an online "scoreboard," or
You can optionally add a "tribute" at the end, such as:
The University allows the payment for these donations to be spread out over 5 years, which may be helpful in contributing more. Also, if you hold appreciated stock, there are significant benefits to donating that. For more information, please go to https://brunonia.brown.edu/giving/ways-to-give. As well, there may be matching programs at your workplace that could leverage your donation.
If we can answer any questions, please e-mail utaendowment@brown.edu. You can also make a check out to "Brown University" (please indicate that it's for the Brown CS Undergraduate TA Endowment) and send it to:
