Student Organizations

ACM (Association for Computing Machinery)

ACM is an international scientific and educational organization dedicated to advancing the art, science, engineering, and application of information technology, serving both professional and public interests by fostering the open interchange of information and by promoting the highest professional and ethical standards. The ACM at CSUF provides a continuing forum for the exchange of ideas and announcements for all the students on campus that share an interest in the diversified aspects of computing. Activities include field trips, programming contests, workshops, symposiums, games and tournaments.

The ACM is a student-run organization and its activities are open to all interested students. The club is successful only to the extent that students support it and participate in its activities. We encourage you to get involved!

For more information on the club, you are welcome to contact us at acmcsufullerton@gmail.com.

 

Offensive Security Society (OSS)

Offensive Security Society (OSS) is formed by a student group interested in learning about proactive approaches to cybersecurity security (i.e., staying on the offense). The offensive approach emphasizes using proof-of-concept attacks against one's own systems and networks in order to uncover and fix vulnerabilities before attackers do. The group frequently holds security workshops, speaker events, and participates in cybersecurity competitions. In Spring 2015, OSS team has won the first place in the computer forensics category at the Information Technology Competition at Cal Poly Pomona.
