Student Organizations

ACM, the Association for Computing Machinery, is an international scientific and educational organization dedicated to advancing the arts, sciences, and applications of information technology. With a world-wide membership of 80,000, ACM functions as a locus for computing professionals and students working in the various fields of Information Technology.

The Pace Computer Society is one of many Chapters of ACM. Through ACM we are able to bring many different opportunities to our members and help them learn and build interest in the design, development, languages, management, and applications of modern computing.

When you join ACM you get access to many resources that you would not otherwise be able to find. You can read about current conferences and talk to professionals in the field, as well as with other students with similar interests. You will receive publications on many different computer subjects, have access to internship and job listings, participate in contests with cash prizes, and many other benefits. Joining ACM is one of the best things you can possibly do to push your career forward. Learn more about the benefits of becoming a member of ACM.

The IEEE is one of the world’s largest technical and professional societies, with more than 400,000 members across the globe. Around a quarter of its members are students, and we have a student branch of the IEEE that offers discounted IEEE membership, access to events, and opportunities for Pace University students. Not only are their student branch activities on campus, but membership enables you to access unique IEEE events and activities in the local area through the online portal. Scholarships and competition entries are also occasionally available to members. Email Andreea Cotoranu for more information on our IEEE student branch!

The National Cyber League is a 501(c)(3) non-profit founded in May 2011 to provide an ongoing virtual training ground for participants to develop, practice, and validate their cybersecurity knowledge and skills using next-generation high-fidelity simulation environments. Each semester the team trains twice a week and competes individually and as a team on NCL's capture the flag style competitions. Since there are challenges ranging from easy to hard, NCL is the perfect place for a student who is interested in cybersecurity, but hasn't had any exposure to it.

For more information about the team's practice schedule and meeting location, get in touch on Discord.

PCS is our weekly student-run club that invite any and all Pace students to attend. PCS hosts industry-led speakers, tech related workshops, and much more throughout each semester. All majors are welcome to come learn more about computing and connect with tech-minded peers at Seidenberg and Pace!

Our mission is to build a community to foster and grow the next generation of cybersecurity talent at Pace through our weekly team practices for the Northeast Collegiate Cyber Defense Competition (NECCDC) held annually, and the National Cyber League (NCL) held every semester. The organization aims to strengthen student skills in cybersecurity related competencies through hands on training.

Students learn and build from each other from a variety of cybersecurity disciplines: Server administration, configuration, and hardening; scanning, enumeration and discovery; vulnerability and asset assessment; exploitation; incident response and recovery.

Students showcase their skills and knowledge by competing against teams from other universities.

For more information about the team's practice schedule and meeting location, get in touch on Discord.
