Student Organizations
MAA/ACM Joint Student Chapter
The Belmont University mathematics and computer science club is a joint Student Chapter of the Mathematical Association of America (MAA) and Association for Computing Machinery (ACM). The MAA and ACM are two of the most prominent professional organizations in mathematics and computer science, respectively.
Our MAA/ACM chapter meets regularly throughout the semester. Each meeting has time for snacks, announcements, and discussion. Sometimes we play a game, other times we have a mini-lecture by a student or professor, but we always have fun! MAA/ACM also sponsors a very popular Game Day each semester at which faculty and students come together to play board games, card games, and video games.
Finally, MAA/ACM performs community service, such as tutoring or helping out with Belmont's Family Literacy Day, each year.

A group of students and faculty representing the Belmont University Student Chapter of the Mathematical Association of America and Association for Computing Machinery (MAA/ACM) and the new Belmont Actuarial Student Society (BASS) participated in the Hands on Nashville work day event on September 29, 2012. The group of volunteers converged on Hands On Nashville’s Urban Farm in South Nashville for a morning of garden labors. Volunteers cleared a parcel, turned a compost pile, harvested sunflower seeds, cleared beds and planted fall greens. HON’s farm offers more than 100 service opportunities each year and donates its harvests to local nonprofits that represent communities in need. The group photo includes the students and faculty members Dr. Danny Biles, Dr. Andy Miller and Dr. Maria Neophytou. The other photo shows some of the group working in the compost pile.
