Give students opportunities to create beyond the course requirements. Think hackathons, clubs, department projects, etc. So many cs majors don’t do anything beyond schoolwork.

That’s me, barely doing anything outside of school work. I like my free time and hobbies, but I guess you have to live and breathe code.

Yeah right? Anytime I do something outside of schoolwork, it’s always something that I find myself. I’d think universities would help out with this more, to give students more experience. After all, nothing beats practical programming work.
