Student Scientific Computing Society Encourages Technology for Career Success

The Pepperdine University Graduate School of Education and Psychology (GSEP) student chapter of the Association of Computing Machinery (ACM) has teamed up with iWE@GSEP to increase awareness of education, technology, and social entrepreneurship resources to help others achieve career success.

ACM is the world’s largest educational and scientific computing society, delivering resources that advance computing as a science and a profession. iWE @ GSEP (International Women Entrepreneurs) is a student-alumni initiative focused on advancing women’s leadership worldwide and supporting digital literacy programs for underserved populations in urban communities.

Some of the ACM student membership benefits include a three-month electronic subscription to ACM’s flagship publication Communications of the ACM; a one-year electronic subscription to the organization’s Crossroads magazine; subscriptions to the e-newsletters TechNews, CareerNews, MemberNet, and Student Quick Takes; an acm.org e-mail forwarding address with Google Postini filtering; and invitations to in-person and virtual meet-ups and special events.

On January 25, ACM and Career Services co-hosted a virtual workshop via Elluminate entitled Tech Resources for Career Success. The president of the ACM chapter presented the launch of its new website which provides information about networking and conferences.
