Madison C.

When I'm stuck on a complex technical problem or under pressure during finals, this group is where I go first. ACM connects you with people who understand both the technical challenges and the student experience – it's a genuine support system.

Kwame A.

Before I found this chapter, I had no idea what I was doing professionally. With the connections and hands-on experience I gained, I can confidently say I'm job-ready – and I'm proud to be graduating with honors.

Faith S.
B.S. Cybersecurity

ACM bridged the gap between what I learned in class and the practical skills I need in the real world. Competing in the National Cyber League and placing well as a team wouldn't have been possible without this group. This has been the highlight of my Franklin experience.

Kollin R.
B.S. Computer Science

As an online student outside of Columbus, ACM is one of the best ways I've found to connect with other Franklin students who share my interests. The exposure to higher-level concepts has helped my learning and given me a clear picture of what's possible in the field.

Austin R.
B.S. Cybersecurity

The ACM Cybersecurity SIG and the National Cyber League are where I developed the hands-on skills that matter in the field – pen testing, SOC analysis, incident response. This chapter gives you the practical experience that sets you apart.
