[Acm-announce] Start a SIG with ACM

[Emily Austin]

Hi all,

If you want to learn about a computing topic with people read on to learn
how! Otherwise have a good day. :)

Check out the ACM site for current SIGs you can get involved with: Check
out the SIGs here! <https://acm.cs.uic.edu/>

SIGs are student lead groups focused on learning and exploring a particular
topic. In the past these groups have had a single student leader teaching
other students something they know about. BUT SIGs can also be groups of
students learning together. If you want to learn about a topic but haven't
had the motivation alone, start a SIG so you can learn with a group! It can
be more fun learning with people and you can share the new things you
learn. If you think something is interesting you can find other people who
think it's interesting too.

To start a new SIG refer to the information below for further action:

For new and continuing SIGs fill out the following information on the
Google form: SIG Proposal Form
<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1CvnOR3YqnYkZnIDnhEBskCY-gPMWJEqtOEL9r3MFwlc/viewform?usp=send_form>.
