The ACM (Association for Computing Machinery) is the world's oldest and largest scientific and educational computing society. Since 1947 it has served members now numbering over 80,000 worldwide. The AITP (Association of Information Technology Professionals) is a professional association comprised of career minded individuals who seek to expand their potential. At North Carolina State University, the student chapters of these two organizations are combined (with two sets of officers) and serve students as a joint body, the NCSU Student ACM/AITP.

We provide many opportunities for students. Every year we host a number of companies, including many of the leading names in the industy such as Microsoft, Intel, IBM, and others, providing both valuable information about job opportunities and information about the latest developments in computing technology. Also sponsored are talks by professors and others in the NCSU community allowing us to see what's going on in our own backyard. Topics in the past have included network security, 3D graphics, and artificial intelligence. Every year we have a food and a fun filled end-of-year pig-picking for the Computer Science Department, and we usually sponsor various other activities, ranging from wiring a school on Net Day to sending students to various programming contests.

If you're not a member, join now! If you were a member last year and are no longer recieving e-mail announcements from us, be sure to renew your membership for this accademic year!
