Mission Statement:
We aspire to build a community of Azusa Pacific University students from all backgrounds and skill levels who are interested in Computer Science. We aim to provide resources from faculty, educators, researchers, and professionals to help students develop both practical and professional skills.
What We Do:
We host monthly events based on what our club members are interested in. We regularly host potlucks with our APU professors, Super Smash Bros tournaments, and game nights. We also attend club fairs and local K-12 school science nights to get younger students interested in Computer Science. Additionally, we have monthly meetings to allow students to connect with each other and stay up to date on events and club activities. We frequently ask for input from our club members at the meetings, so if you have an idea for an event or speaker you would like ACM to host, or an off-campus event you would like ACM to attend, email us and come to our meetings!

We hosted Dr. Sam, a retired APU professor, who gave a talk on cybersecurity and hacking.
We hosted a panel of all our club members who had summer internships, and they told us what to expect from an internship, as well as tips and advice for how to successfully get an internship at a leading Engineering and Computer Science company, such as Raytheon, Northrop Grumman, Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and others.
We attended a local elementary school’s science night and gave all of the kids who attended a 3D-printed keychain. We also explained to the kids what 3D printing was.
We hosted a virtual finals week study session during quarantine in Spring 2020, and we continued to host virtual events throughout the 2020-2021 academic year.
