ACM Chapter Member News | December 2016

Welcome to the December 2016 edition of the ACM Chapter Member News

Our Professional and Student chapters worldwide serve as nodes of activity for ACM members and the computing community at large, offering seminars, lectures, and the opportunity to meet peers and experts in many fields of interest. With over 900 active chapters worldwide, we would like to take the time now to connect with all of you, and bring you a few ACM Highlights.
