The City College of New York Student Chapter

Founded in 1947, ACM is the world's first educational and scientific computing society. The City College of New York Student Chapter of the ACM was officially chartered in 1966 and has been reactivated in 2001. We are looking forward to helping the Computer Science, Computer Engineering, and Electrical Engineering student community. If you are interested in computing the computing field, join us today!

What's happening this year?

Well, the short answer is we're doing a LOT of new stuff this year (2009/2010).

First of all, after working tirelessly throughout the Fall 2009 semester, the 2009/2010 executive board proudly presents a brand new CCNY ACM web site (background and layout designs by Stanis Laus Billy). In addition to a complete visual makeover, new features in this version are: archives, SIG information, integrated Google calendar, and a media gallery (pictures and videos).

One of our new initiatives this semester is collaboration, collaboration, collaboration. Starting in the Fall 2009 semester, ACM is taking a new approach towards building a better student community: collaborations. We feel that thus far, student organizations have been competing against each other. Competitions are good and well, but we see a better way to build a community of student organizations, especially in these tough economic times. This community can be achieved through collaborations where various student organizations working together hand-in-hand to co-host events and to strive together towards big goals (e.g. multidisciplinary special projects). One of our greatest accomplishments so far is Game Nights, which are now being co-hosted by seven other clubs (listed alphabetically):

- Art of Science and Engineering club (ASE)
- CCNY Entrepreneurship club
- CCNY Robotics club
- Honors Student Activity Council (HSAC)
- Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE)
- National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE)
- Science and Engineering Communications club (SEC)

With these initial collaborations, ACM and all of Game Nights co-hosts hope to inspire and encourage more collaboration among student organizations in the future.

In the Fall 2009 semester, we started a new special interest group: WebDevSIG. In the Spring 2010, we will be reviving the GameDevSIG. Please see the Special Interest Groups page for more information.
