The Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) is the world's oldest and largest educational and scientific computing society. Since 1947, ACM has provided a vital forum for the exchange of information, ideas, and discoveries. Today, ACM serves a membership of more than 100,000 computing professionals in more than 100 countries in all areas of industry, academia, and government.

ACM publishes, distributes, and archives original research and firsthand perspectives from the world's leading thinkers in computing and information technologies. ACM offers over two dozen publications that help computing professionals negotiate the strategic challenges and operating problems of the day. The 38 ACM Special Interest Groups offer a wealth of publications, conferences and resource archives covering a broad spectrum of technical expertise and providing first-hand knowledge of the latest development trends.

The more than 860 professional and student chapters worldwide function as intellectual and geographical nodes of activity for both ACM members and the computing community at large, offering seminars, lectures, and the opportunity to meet peers and experts in many fields of interest.

The ACM student chapter at Georgia State University offers GSU students the chance to hear speakers covering the latest topics in the computing field, visit local companies and research centers, and exchange ideas with other students and faculty in an informal setting.

Students may join the ACM student chapter at GSU, the national ACM organization, or both. Membership in one organization does not confer membership in the other.

To join the national ACM organization, please visit the Membership Options page and scroll down to Student Membership Options. Student membership is currently $19 a year.

Beginning in Fall 2025, joining the student chapter must be done through the Panther Involvement Network (PIN):

First, sign into PIN using the blue SIGN IN button at the upper right corner of the page. Then press the blue JOIN button near the top of the page to send a request to join the chapter. Once your membership has been approved, you will receive a welcome email. It may take a few days (we do membership approvals in batches), so please be patient.
