UIC ACM

Hello Everyone,

The ACM will be holding its annual elections this coming Tuesday, April 22rd at 5PM. Anyone who feels compelled to run will be giving a speech explaining what would make them a good candidate for a given position. We have many positions opening up as we have many graduating seniors. The room is still to be decided so keep checking this page or your inbox (if you’re on the ACM mailing list). Any other questions please direct towards me (bmykie2@uic.edu). Thank you!

Sincerely,

Brian Mykietka

Hey everyone,

Tired of those mean professors thinking they’re always smarter than you? Have you ever tried to prove them wrong but just didn’t have the right amount of preparation time? Well now is your chance.

Come join us as the ACM and the CS department hosts stump the profs, as we the students try and take down 4 of the meanest, baddest teachers in the CS department. Food and drinks will be provided by the CS department. They’re here for revenge and we want to keep our title which we won back in 2006.

See you there,
