GT ACM

Attendee

Interested in becoming becoming more involved with GTACM? Just start coming to meetings and events! You can also find us on various social media:

• @gtacm on Twitter
• Facebook group
• Mailing list

We have several events and info sessions with various companies throughout a semester, and one or two members’ meetings, focused on networking and event planning.

Member

Want to be more involved? We need committee members! You’ll have a minimal time effort, and work mainly on our events. You spend time directly with corporate representatives instead of simply listening to them. You get all of the swag that you want! Not too long ago, we took our members on a tour of the Google’s Atlanta office, complete with swag. Dinner with Microsoft? You never know what sweet benefits we can throw your way.

GTACM also has several Special Interest Groups that may cater to your interests. Membership in ACM covers membership in as many of them as you would like to join.

Officer

Want to be even more involved? We need officers! You can get some impressive leadership experience as a GTACM officer, more than you’ll ever get at a conference or leadership camp. Officer meetings are currently Monday night at 7pm on the third floor of the College of Computing (room 347, near the elevator). The fastest way to get involved is to show up and learn about what we’re working on. We are currently looking for: External Chair, Publicity, Membership, Social, and Treasurer. We are also looking for people interested in other positions that are currently occupied, so that these positions can be filled when the current officers graduate. Here are more details on these positions:

• External Chair – This is one of the most important positions in the organization; we need someone to talk to companies and the College of Computing to schedule events.
• Publicity – We need someone who can work about 3 hours a week making posters and fliers. They wouldn’t need to visually “stunning” per se, but they can’t be 15 minutes in MS Paint (or MS Word, for that matter). This publicity is for companies coming to talk to ACM mostly. Big names like Qualcomm, Microsoft, Yahoo!, Engadget, Google, Harris, Amazon, (list goes on) are the kind of events that you’d often be making publicity for as well as ACM social events, and, if interested, a newsletter.
• Membership – You would schedule and run members meetings and help with recruitment and creating opportunities for our members. Membership is also in charge of the GTACM Resume Book.
• Social – Organize and run social events such as movie nights and cookouts. We have the resources and money, we just need you!
• Treasurer – Manage the organization’s finances and reimburse people when needed. We have a system set up, you just need to learn it.
• Prodigies – to fill the other positions when they open up; people are always leaving Tech, and if the position you want isn’t open this semester, you’ll have another chance, especially if you are more involved.
• Committee members for the other positions – each of these positions needs help! You can help with any of these areas if you have a little time free and still reap many of the rewards of participating.
