Do I need to be a CS major to join?
Nope! ACM is open to anyone who is interested in computing, whether you are majoring in computer science or just want to learn more. We have lots of people with different backgrounds and experience levels!
When and where are meetings?
Our general meetings are on Thursdays at 7 PM in ISC 2280. We run a mix of beginner-friendly technical workshops, speaker events, and collabs with other tech clubs. We also usually have food and/or free stuff. See the calendar page for more info about our upcoming meetings!
What about office hours?
Office hours are held in ISC 4, room 2394. The usual schedule is Monday through Friday from 9 to 11 AM and 2 to 4 PM, plus Monday through Thursday from 6 to 7 PM. Office hours are great place to go if you need help with homework or personal projects, or if you have any questions about CS classes. We also have snacks and games!
How do I get updates?
The easiest way is through the Connect page, where you can join the GroupMe and find our other socials. We post reminders, share upcoming events, and let people know what's happening each week.
What kinds of events does ACM run?
ACM runs a mix of technical, professional, and social events throughout the semester. This includes workshops, speaker events, collabs with other tech clubs, and community events like the CS brunch and annual CS banquet. We also provide transportation to annual hackathons like HooHacks (UVA) and BitCamp (UMD).
Can I suggest an event or give a workshop?
Definitely! If you have an idea for an event, workshop, or speaker, we would love to hear it. You can message an officer on GroupMe or Discord, stop by office hours, or talk to us after a weekly meeting!
