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.
Senior Class Presidency
Jeff Hansen and Dylan Skinner
If you want to make ACME not just about numbers but also about spicing up your academic journey, then vote for us – Jeff the Chef and Sous Chef Dylan! We're not your average candidates; we're the dynamic duo you need to make your ACME experience sizzle! Just like in the kitchen, where timing is everything, we're the team that gets the homework done the day it's assigned – no more last-minute cramming! And speaking of teamwork, we've always been known to lend a helping hand (or spatula) to anyone who asks on homework and labs. Need a hand with that tricky problem set? We've got your back! But it's not just about work; we're all about creating a friendly and ambitious environment in everything we do. So, if you want a taste of success in ACME, remember to vote for the chefs who'll cook up success and make math flavorful. Together, let's "Get the Chefs in the Kitchen" and spice up our ACME journey!
Junior Class Presidency
Oscar Escobar Rodriguez and Michael King
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.
