<h4>History</h4>
<p>ACM established student chapters to provide an opportunity for students to
play a more active role in the Association and its professional activities. By
encouraging organization of student chapters on college and university campuses,
the Association is able to introduce students to the benefits of professional
organization. These benefits include regular meetings that encourage and enhance
learning through exchange of ideas among students as well as between established
professionals and students. Members of a student chapter may also take advantage
of the activities and services provided by ACM, including the lectureship
program, student programming and tutorial contests, and the publications
program. Student chapters provide an obvious setting for the development and
demonstration of leadership capabilities. Finally, students find the various
activities of ACM and its student chapters both professionally and socially
exciting as well as rewarding.</p>
