My first thought is to work with the employment office at the university. Typically, universities have staff dedicated to finding jobs for graduates.
Also, talking to professors and instructors in the department.
CS is just like any other field, it is mostly who you know with a strong dose of fitting the expected social background...e.g. the fat part of the distribution of new grads.
People tend to hire people who have similar backgrounds. Sometimes they hire people with expected backgrounds. People who hire people with unusual but unexciting backgrounds are rare.

Good luck.
