We meet every Friday at 12 noon in GITC 4415.

ACM is an organization focused on helping students further themselves in their fields of study and extending their knowledge past what is covered in the classroom.

Within ACM we have multiple Special Interest Groups (SIGs) which focus on a range of topics from Network Security to Video Game Development. These SIGs allow students to go in depth in topics they are interested in while working with a network of people who share the same interests. ACM also offers free tutoring for majority of the classes offered by the College of Computing Sciences. Throughout the semester we have numerous workshops and seminars. ACM has also taken trips to various sites such as Prudential and Google.

In addition to the academic services we offer, ACM also offers recreational services to its members. We have multiple computers in our office along with a nice collection of game consoles for anyone who wants to come in and hang out. We have also hosted numerous game tournaments on campus.
