Hello Everyone,

As you might already know, this Thursday 4/12/2012, ACM will be holding its elections for the 2012-2013 year! The elections will be held in SEO 1000 at 5:30p.m. and should last for about 30-45 minutes.
Everyone can attend and give input, but only current ACM members will have the option of voting for President, Vice-President, Treasurer, and Secretary.

Good Luck to all of the candidates and see you all on Thursday!

-Ashley
ACM Secretary

Due to some network changes, the MAC address whitelist has been cleared out. This means that some people that had access to the ACM network no longer do. We are working on getting valid entries re-added to the new whitelist, but it is possible your machines entry will be missed or not added due to the reason listed below. 

As part of a new policy only ACM members will get access to the ACM network, as machine registration is now directly linked to your ACM account. Guests will retain the ability to gain access temporarily for events or other special purposes. Registration is done in person at the ACM office.

For some good news, the ACM now has a wireless network for members use. Members with registered devices will be able to access the network using their ACM account name and password. Platform specific instructions are located at acm.cs.uic.edu/wireless.
