Student Chapter - Association for Computing Machinery

Faculty Advisor: Christopher Smith, PhD.

The department has a student chapter of the Association for Computing Machinery. The ACM sponsors lectures and social events for department majors.  Computer science majors may participate in the Annual ACM Programming Contest held every November and in regional programming competitions every semester.

The Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) is the world's oldest and largest educational and scientific computing society. Since 1947 ACM has provided a vital forum for the exchange of information, ideas, and discoveries. The Gonzaga ACM Student Chapter is a forum through which members share technological insights, discuss leading edge developments, network, and participate in public service activities. ACM student membership also provides many additional benefits including access to conference proceedings, and reduced rates on publications and software.

All students are invited to join ACM.  Officer elections are in April of each year.  Official membership is not required to participate in club activities.
