Our (unofficial) local student chapter of the Association for Computing Machinery at NMU is focused on applying the academic aspects of computer science and gaming into a fun, social environment. The organization allows computer science students and other computer programmers and aficionados to meet up with each other and organize activities based on the interests of the group members.
