Why Belong to an ACM Student Chapter?

• Professional contacts: Activities of student chapters, such as lecturer appearances and chapter participation at any of the numerous conferences, afford the opportunity to meet distinguished computing professionals.
• Technical and professional growth: Student chapter sponsorship of, or participation in, programs consisting of papers, debates, panel discussions and forums provide clear opportunity for augmented learning and development.
• Development of leadership capabilities: Opportunities for development and demonstration of leadership capabilities abound in the formation, growth, and sustenance of a student chapter. In addition to the various chapter offices, there are opportunities for chairing committees, conferences or symposia, organizing programming contests, coordinating professional development seminars, and leading panel discussions and round tables, to name just a few.
• Career development: The chapter can help its members select and prepare for a career by creating a chapter newsletter, career-day programs, and graduate school forums. In addition, the student chapter can help locate and organize summer opportunities and internships by working with the department and career center to find and fill part-time and summer employment opportunities.
• Tours: Setting up a tour presents an opportunity to develop contacts as well as organizational skills.
• Representation in the Association: A student chapter acting as a group, through the Chapters Advisory Committee, may influence ACM activities or policy and, therefore, the profession.
