Professional Organizations
Joining a professional organization while you are a student has some benefits. First, while you are a student you can join for a reduced rate. Second, joining a professional organization means that you receive a publication from them which keeps you up-to-date about the latest news in your professional field. Lastly, it looks good on a resume, especially if you become active in the organization. Professional organizations in your field of study are:
- Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) http://www.acm.org/
- IEEE Computer Society http://www.computer.org
