nics, movie nights, paint-balling, water balloon fights (which I always seem to lose, for some reason) and more. All in all, we all come together to learn, educate, have fun, and try to make a difference in our community.
So what's happening with ACM this year? We've got a variety of speakers lined up from the industry to come talk to students, plenty of social events from the upcoming picnic to paintball, a number of (still hush-hush!) initiatives to create opportunities for students to interact with professors, other students, the corporate world, and our community, and of course, the many projects for 2002-2003 are in the planning stages already, and looking for enthusiastic and motivated students to put them into high gear. If you've been putting off joining ACM, now may be the best time to join!
So once again, welcome back to school. I'm extremely excited by the caliber of the students I've continued to meet over the past few days, and I know this bodes very well for the many activities of ACM. If you are so excited about ACM you bouncing off the walls and annoying your roommate, start coming to exec meetings, held Mondays at 5:30 PM at 2240 DCL. We're always looking for the people that are going to drive ACM and direct us towards becoming a better organization. Who knows? You may lead the next prizewinning project team at EOH, or you might be the next chair of ACM.
Feel free to email me at acm@uiuc.edu if I can help get you oriented, provide advice, or if you want to buy me coffee. I'll see you around the office; come challenge me to a XBOX game!
