If you think you have a bit of free time and you want to spend it doing something like the stuff above, consider becoming a member!
What Does a Member Have to Do?
Beyond meet people, work on projects that you find interesting, hang out with friends, and eat pizza, you might have to help the club stay alive by helping out with club-like things every once in a while. These might be things like:
- Make a flyer for a guest speaker
- Help maintain our web page
- Contact industry and academic folks for lectures
- Attend meetings with your peers every once in a while
- Help the CS department do things like talk to incoming freshman
Basically, instead of having a few officers do all of the work, every member can chip in making everybody's job much easier.

ACM is a leading academic computer science organizations.
to:
ACM is a leading academic computer science organizations. We are a student chapter of the ACM. We really like to think of this group as the OSU computer science club, in which we have events, contests, guest speakers, workshops and give away pizza. In the past, we have had a software engineering contest, sent two teams to the ACM International Collegiate Programming Contest, helped out with tutoring for CS 151, had many lectures, and started a x86 Linux cluster in our lounge. This year, who knows!

Then Who Are We?
We are a student chapter of the ACM. That doesn't really mean much, except that we're official sponsored by the organization. We really like to think of this group as the OSU computer science club, in which we have projects, activities, guest speakers, and give away pizza. In the past, we have had a software engineering contest, sent two teams to the ACM International Collegiate Programming Contest, helped out with tutoring for CS 151, had many lectures, and started to work on making a parallel cluster of
PowerPCs?. This year, who knows! We've even sponsored a student taught class.

What is ACM About?
ACM itself stands for Association for Computing Machinery, which is one of the leading academic computer science organizations. They have a bunch of journals in which our professors publish in, but also do a lot of things with students. Check out acm.org for more information.

If you're a computer scientist, you're probably pretty curious about something having to do with computers. Being part of ACM allows you to easily meet other people who might just be interested in the same thing. Here are some of the things that past members have been curious about, and have worked on:
