SACME
Student Advisory Committee of ACME
Our mission is to initiate a strong, ongoing network of students committed to apply mathematics in pursuit of academic excellence and the betterment of society.
Who can join SACME: Applied and Computational Mathematics Emphasis students including those who have not yet started the ACME Junior core are all welcome to join SACME.
What we do: We advise the faculty on how to make ACME better. We help students through the program, and we organize activities and events for students. We connect with alumni and other friends of ACME. Our goal is to form a strong network of students and alumni that work together to help improve ACME and to help give ACME students support and access to great opportunities both at BYU and beyond.
Questions: For any general ACME questions, or personal questions to the SACME members please send an email to acme@mathematics.byu.edu. We also have Pre-ACME mentoring. You can request a mentor at acme@mathematics.byu.edu.

Tyler Sanders and Andrew Cherpeski
Andrew and I want to make sure ACME is a welcoming place whether you’re a senior study room regular, a freshman considering ACME, or anywhere in between. We believe in fostering a culture that better focuses on all the cool things we learn and do in ACME, rather than how hard it is, in order to be positive, welcoming, and inclusive. We also want to make ACME more efficient by helping people to deliberately coordinate homework schedules, easily network and look for jobs, and have an available pipeline for their opinions to get heard on SACME. Finally, we want to ensure that ACME has great activities for everyone, both by ensuring the continued quality (and sufficient food quantity) of ACME socials, and by also planning more regular, casual events for us to hang out at and decompress. Ultimately, we know that ACME can reach its full potential through these changes and the passionate involvement of all of us.
Junior Class Elections
Grace Baker and Trevor Larsen
I believe that ACME is more than just a major, more than just a cohort, it's a family. When I'm elected to office I promise to encourage intellectual growth, increase opportunities for social interaction, and make lots of good jokes. I also promise to ensure that Trevor answers all of your questions in the Junior core study room. My qualifications include waitressing at Oishii Sushi, embroidering cartoon pink beans, roasting teenagers when they don't want to do their math homework, and most importantly, having reduced vision in one eye. I can't wait to serve you, I'll (mostly) see you soon!
Oscar Escobar Rodriguez and Michael King
Why vote for us? We think these statements ask more for our personal convictions than being superfluous with words.
Michael: “I have always been the type of person that thrives when I am working in a group setting. I want to be an advocate for those with a similar disposition. I also want to make sure everyone feels welcome in the study room and free to work collaboratively. I sincerely hope that everyone who wants to is able to find a study group where they feel like a valuable contributor. Most of all, I want everyone to feel like they can be successful in ACME.”
Oscar: I have always thought of myself as that one guy that is not the best at something but works hard and tries various times, so that in the end, he does okay, maybe even well. I would like for others to feel and experience the same, inasmuch as that is possible. I think of leadership as just a public announcement of being a friend to all, serving others, and being held accountable to doing the best for those you represent.
Collectively, we want to be advocates for you as well as ensure that everyone can be heard, helped, welcomed, and above all feel successful in ACME. We promise to our best to help you and make the laborious and long road laid ahead of us feel easier. We look forward to sharing the load together and the laughs that will come along the way.
