The Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) is the world’s largest educational and scientific computing society. UMBC has an active ACM student chapter that is open to all UMBC undergraduate and graduate students of any major.

While you do not need to join ACM to be a part of the local chapter, the annual membership dues for students is only $19, heavily discounted from the non-student rate. See the ACM site for more information on student membership and its benefits.

This year the chapter is planning to have monthly meetings where faculty members, ACM distinguished speakers, and local tech companies will talk about various interesting topics. These meetings are tentatively planned for the third Wednesday of every month starting in October. Other activities like board game nights or our Welcome Back Picnic are also in the works. Suggestions on speakers or other events are welcome and can be sent to .

Please stop by for these events for which we will send out detail as they get confirmed. Sign up for the UMBC ACM mailing list to become a part of the local chapter and receive updates and news of its activities and events.
