My years of being a participant taught me a lot - the problems I solved, the trainings I had, the contests I went and the great times I had with my teammates and coaches. And now there's Cornell ACM, a brand new start for me. As the new president, I will do my best to create an experience even more wonderful for everyone in the team.

It is through ACM that I find my passion: solving fun, challenging problems. Cornell ACM Project Team is like a family that always supports me and give me warmth. I will always remember the weekend trainings and board game parties, which is definitely some of the sweetest memories in my freshman year.

Though I was not always regraded as a strong contestant, I always have a passion for ACM and the art of problem solving which fueled me to pursuit a Ph.D. degree in a place like Cornell. Cornell ACM helped me realize my dream of becoming a World Finalist. And now I would like to continue my ACM trip as a coach to help more people enjoy it!

Training for contests every week of my first two college years not only gave me a deeper understanding of algorithm design and implementation, it also helped me develop strong friendships with others passionate about problem solving.

Use ICPC as an excuse to learn the things you don’t see in class—there’s a lot to explore! ICPC gives you an intuition for algorithms and performance engineering that is extremely useful for a career in computer science.
