Dr. Blythe will hold two practice sessions next week (9/25-9/29) for the Association of Computing Machinery (ACM) International Collegiate Programming Contest. If you would like to join a team representing SIUE in this years competition, attending one of these practice sessions will be very beneficial. Both practice sessions will be identical, so you only need to attend one of them (although you may attend both if you wish).

Contest format, what you're allowed to bring (and not bring), what will be available at the contest, and a few sample problems will be covered in the practice session. Be sure to bring your schedule for the next 6 weeks so Dr. Blythe can form the teams and set up a weekly practice time for each team. In subsequent weeks, teams will have the opportunity to work on practice problems. If you can't make one of these times and you still want to be in the contest, let Dr. Blythe know as soon as possible.
