Welcome to ACM-SEMO
If you're looking for more than just a general education, we invite you to explore the fields of computer technology with the Association for Computing Machinery at Southeast Missouri State University. Here you will be given opportunities to network with programmers, engineers, and computing enthusiasts while diversifying yourself by being engaged in extracurricular activities. Our major focus covers concepts in Software Development, but we also enjoy mixing things up with some Cybersecurity and computer hardware.
Our members are proponents for innovation and enjoy experimenting, so never expect one meeting to be the same as the last. We host a variety of events such as tech talks, skills-based workshops, social meetups, and community outreaches. If you like professional meetings, we have those, and if you like laid back meetings, we got you there too. We're all students who are working towards learning more in computer technology, while having some fun at it.
ACM-SEMO is the Southeast Missouri State University student chapter of ACM,
founded December 9, 2014.
ACM-SEMO has dedicated itself to fostering the growth of interest in computing, and also focuses on providing
college students with skills that they may not find inside the classroom.
If you'd like an idea of what sort of events to expect we keep a compiled list of past meetings here
Our vision for ACM-SEMO is to continue to provide a great atmosphere for learning and collaboration,
and to reach out to the local areas to help create an environment where more people can discover a passion
for computing.
tldr; ACM-SEMO is a group of college students for students and community.
ACM brings together computing educators, researchers, and professionals to inspire dialogue, share resources,
and address the field's challenges. As the world’s largest computing society, ACM strengthens the profession's
collective voice through strong leadership, promotion of the highest standards, and recognition of technical
excellence. ACM supports the professional growth of its members by providing opportunities for life‐long learning,
career development, and professional networking.
Founded at the dawn of the computer age, ACM’s reach extends to every part of the globe, with more than half of its
100,000 members residing outside the U.S. Its growing membership has led to Councils in Europe, India, and China,
fostering networking opportunities that strengthen ties within and across countries and technical communities.
Their actions enhance ACM’s ability to raise awareness of computing’s important technical, educational, and social
issues around the world.

ACM-W supports, celebrates, and advocates internationally for the full engagement of women in all aspects of the
computing field, providing a wide range of programs and services to ACM members and working in the larger community
to advance the contributions of technical women.

The SIGAI chapter at SEMO
developed in fall of 2017 as a response to the pressing interest students had in game development,
and artificial intelligence. This is a special interest group of ACM, for those who are interested in learning
more ai programming, and is more project focused.
