                <h4>Our Purpose</h4>
                <p style="margin-left:3em; margin-right:3em">The Association of Computer Science Undergraduates (ACSU) promotes educational, professional, and social interaction among every undergraduate student interested in computer science. We facilitate student communication with faculty, alumni, and corporate representatives to enhance the undergraduate experience in computer science.</p>
                <p>ACSU is Cornell's chapter of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM). We receive support from the Department of Computer Science and several corporate sponsors.</p>
