"The ACM SRC gave me the unique opportunity to present my work to a broad audience. I was able to hone my skills by presenting my research to a wide variety of people, including computing professionals not directly working in my research area. This helped me to distill down my research to the most important details and be exposed to a wide variety of other disciplines."
