Student Groups

The Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) is the world’s largest computing society, and the primary professional organization for computer scientists. The Loyola ACM chapter is open for all computer science students, who become members of the national organization upon joining.  The chapter organizes a variety of professional and social events for computer science students throughout the academic year such as speakers, socials, resume clinics, back-to-school night, movie nights, and mock interviews.

The cybersecurity club is for any student interested in learning more about security. They meet weekly, and also host hackathons sponsored by local companies.

The Minorities in STEM club was founded by students to create a place for minority students to come together on campus.

The Robotics Club is a club for students interested in robotics. No prior knowledge or experience with robots is necessary to participate! Club members gain access to the Robot Lab and are taught how to use various robots there. Club members generally are free to try out their own projects as they wish throughout the year.
