About Us
Princeton ACM is Princeton’s student chapter of the world’s largest educational and scientific computing society, the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM). We are advised by the one and only Pedro Paredes.
Our mission is to promote the ACM’s goal of “advancing computing as a science and a profession” amongst Princeton students (undergraduate or graduate). To this end, we hold a variety of events to engage our fellow students, including mini-hackathons (which we affectionately refer to as Code@Nights), a Princeton-wide computer science competition (COSCON), advising over coffee, interview prep, talks with professors, and more. If you’d like to stay in the loop on all that we’re doing, join us today! To join, you must be a Princeton student, but that’s it — after all, the challenges, promises, and beauties of computer science cut across disciplines, experience levels, and social backgrounds.
ACM is fundamentally run by its members, as detailed in our constitution. However, we do have a board that oversees the day-to-day operations, heads outreach/sponsorship, and plans events over the course of its term. But don’t forget that the board works for you — we work on your feedback so please let us know here if there’s something we could be doing better, or if you’d like to see a particular event happen. You can meet the board members for this school year below:
