We’re proud to share that Computer Science Professor Mark Sherriff has been elected to the Board of the ACM Special Interest Group on Computer Science Education (SIGCSE). His three-year term as Secretary will run from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2028.

The Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) is the world’s largest educational and scientific computing society, dedicated to advancing computing as both a science and a profession. Within ACM, SIGCSE serves as a vital community for computer science educators, offering a platform to explore and improve teaching practices, curriculum development, and educational research. SIGCSE also organizes several influential conferences each year that bring together educators from around the globe.

Professor Sherriff brings a wealth of experience to the role. He joined UVA’s Department of Computer Science in 2007 and currently serves as both Associate Chair of the department and Director of the Bachelor of Science in Computer Science program in the UVA School of Engineering and Applied Science.

His election to the SIGCSE Board is a testament to his leadership in computer science education and his ongoing commitment to shaping the future of the field. Congratulations to Professor Sherriff!
