Attention Computer Science students! You are invited to participate in the regional ACM programming contest. If you like programming, working on challenging problems, and being part of a team, you should consider participating.The contest draws students from colleges and universities throughout the Greater New York Metropolitan Area, including areas of New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut. Its exact time and location are yet to be determined, but it will probably be held on a Sunday at the end of October or beginning of November. Winners selected from regional contests on six continents will advance to the ACM Programming Contest World Finals to compete for bragging rights and scholarships.
Last year our two teams placed very well, and we hope for an even better placement this year. Team TCNJ1 (Rob Wilson, Jake Voytko, Steve Lombardi) placed 9th, while TCNJ2 (Autumn Breese, Karen DelDuca, Christopher Neylan) placed 37th out of a total of 58 teams. For more details on last year’s contest check out http://www.acmgnyr.org or talk to the TCNJ contestants from last year.
If you are interested in participating, email Dr. Andrea Salgian at salgian@tcnj.edu. Teams will be selected through a local contest and training will start very soon.
