About Us

ACM brings together computing educators, researchers, and professionals to inspire dialogue, share resources, and address the field’s challenges. As the world’s largest computing society, ACM strengthens the profession’s collective voice through strong leadership, promotion of the highest standards, and recognition of technical excellence. ACM supports the professional growth of its members by providing opportunities for life‐long learning, career development, and professional networking.

We are a student organization at Capella University (CU) dedicated to helping prepare IT learners to enter the workforce and as they study IT at CU. We meet online regularly to plan new events, recruit new people, and reach out to IT leaders and businesses for virtual tours, lectures, and advice.

Our Mission

Our mission is to prepare undergraduate and graduate learners in IT for their careers. We strive to increase the number of tools you have so you feel more comfortable completing a task in the real world. ACM is whatever you make it, so get involved, be vocal, and enjoy it along the way!

We welcome everyone to our club without regard to race, color, sex, mental and physical ability, affectional or sexual orientation, gender identity, ethnicity, national origin, age, or socioeconomic status. Come code and more with us!
