Description

 

The Kennesaw State University Association of Computing Machinery is an organization that is all about computers and the people who use them. The goal of our organization is to promote and expand student's understanding of computers and help these students develop in their chosen field. To do this, the KSU ACM promotes projects, research, and competitions to develop students' skill and build their resumes. We host lectures and talk to help introduce students to not only new developments in computing, but also new developments in old systems.
At the same time, the KSU ACM strives to build a community and does so by hosting a variety of social events to encourage friendship and camaraderie. We believe camarderie is as important as it is for students to understand the inner workings of the computer, they need to have an idea of the inner workings of the people using them. By socializing with others, we feel that people can understand not only how to make a good computer program but how to make a program that people can actually use.
