Student Clubs and Organizations

ACM - The Association for Computing Machinery

The Association for Computing Machinery is the world's largest educational and scientific computing society. The student chapter at NJIT, the NJIT ACM, aims to build a community of students interested in computing sciences, as well as encourage growth in the academic and professional fields. The NJIT ACM offers computer science related workshops, tutoring sessions, and events. In addition, we host multiple SIGs, or special interest groups, where students come together to learn various topics of their choice. Some examples are SIG Android, Algorithms, Linux, Reverse Engineering, etc.

If you are interested in joining us, stop by our office or the tutoring center (GITC 3700). You can also visit our website at njit.acm.org for information.
