Professor Brian Thoms will be holding a meeting for students interested in programming competitions (ACM and GURU). It will be in Sierra Hall 1131, Friday Sept 23 at 12.
This is a great way to make friends, learn coding, and participate in an exciting competition.
We have done very well in the past:
