Student Organizations
Our student organizations are the heart of the Grainger Engineering community. When individuals from different personal, cultural, and disciplinary perspectives work together, everyone benefits. With 100+ engineering societies and registered student organizations on campus, including several in computing and data science, there's something for everyone.
Siebel School Student Groups
- The Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) has over 20 SIGs (Special Interest Groups) that explore the possibilities of computers and learning how to use and develop them. ACM helps organize HackIllinois, Fall CTF, and the Reflections | Projections Conference.
