At the core of ACM are a large group of Special Interest Groups. These groups meet weekly and discuss specific areas of computing. If you are interested in getting involved in a SIG, you can simply show up at their meeting. SIGs accept new members at any time in the semester, and are always happy to gain new help. If you've got questions about a specific SIG, email the corresponding chair listed below.
