I am the faculty advisor for ACM Club, the largest computing student organization at SCU. The Club presents informative workshops, brings guest speakers, and hosts fun weekly meetings, as well as hackathons (AI Hackathon and Hack for Humanity) and competitive programming.

I have had the privilege of serving as the coach since SCU's inaugural participation in the ICPC International Collegiate Programming Contest in 2023. We are proud to have earned several medals along the way.

We strongly encourage and welcome students of all backgrounds, majors, and skill levels to join the Club and share our love for technology!
