Description of the Organization
Upsilon Pi Epsilon is the first and only international
honor society for the Computing Sciences. It was founded
in 1967 to recognize scholarship and professionalism.
In the years since then, over 120 institutions of higher
education around the world have established UPE chapters
to honor their students; many chapters also honor faculty
with membership.

ACM Executive Council:
The Association for Computing Machinery
has endorsed the UPE concept and has agreed to encourage
its spread to other universities through student
chapters of the ACM.
In 1992, UPE received formal endorsement by the Board

Pi Epsilon as a honor society for the computing sciences.
