Computing News was recognized as one of the top three university computing newsletters in the U.S. and Canada at the annual ACM/SIGUCCS convention in Denver, Colorado, last fall. Other winners were the University of British Columbia's Into IT, which took first place, and New York University's Connect Magazine.
The entries were judged on content, design, and effectiveness in getting information to the campus community. ACM, an acronym for the Association of Computing Machinery, is one of the oldest and most respected academic computing organizations in the country. SIGUCCS is its Special Interest Group for University Computing Center User Services.
