Our Meetings and the ACM Lounge

Our officer team brings in businesses, organizations, faculty, and students that are energetic about sharing their knowledge and experience about computing to the next generation.

We do our best to provide quality presentations, exercises, and resources for students, where every meeting is worthwhile and has a positive takeaway.

Meeting Times:
We meet in during the school year.

The ACM Lounge

Formally known as the CS Projects Room, Engineering Room 104 is the ACM Lounge. The space is used as a study area, where students can collaborate on projects and homework; get tutoring and help from Teaching Assistants, Graders, and other CS students; and network with each other.

Presently, students have limited access to the room while it is being worked on. More information will be released when the officer team is informed.
