Every year, UCSB recognizes outstanding student leaders as well as student organizations for their contributions to campus life during that particular academic year. The Activities Awards Selection Committee reviews hundreds of nominations for several different individual and organizational awards and determines those who are most deserving. This year our Student Chapter of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), lead by President Michael Rosengarten, won the Progressive Use of Technology Award. As one of several new awards, this award seeks to promote and encourage the use of technology to aid us in our values of scholarship, leadership, and citizenship. The UCSB ACM has, through the tireless work of it’s student leaders, grown leaps and bounds over the last few years. This professional organization provides guidance, tutoring, and community building activities to the entire department, and has grown to become an important part of the department.
