ACM (the international professional organization) also supports student chapters
at the local level. They provide information to the local chapters, sponsor a variety
of lecturers in the ACM Lectureship Series, publish a Graduate Directory of institutions
that offer assistantships or fellowships in the field of computing, and contribute
to the local chapters in numerous other ways.

The MSU Student Chapter of the ACM tries to provide meaningful activities throughout the year
for students interested in computing. Some of the activities we are involved in include monthly
socials, programming contests, resume books that are sent to prospective employers, and visiting
guest lecturers. We typically have a picnic every semester also. The ACM Student Chapter provides
ample opportunities for students to get involved with an active organization. Dues at the local
level are $6 for the academic year. As a member, you are eligible to participate in all ACM
activities at MSU and are put on our ACM mailing list. You will receive e-mail messages about all
of our upcoming events. To become a member, contact any one of the ACM officers. Dues for membership
in the international ACM are $27 per year. Applications can be obtained from any officer. The
ACM Student Chapter maintains an account on the Computer Science departmental computer system,
acm@cs.msstate.edu.
Feel free to ask any questions or make comments at any time.
