XRDS: Crossroads, The ACM Magazine for Students (XRDS:CMS)

XRDS: Crossroads, The ACM Magazine for Students is the flagship student magazine of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), first published in 1994 and distributed quarterly in both print and digital formats. It serves as a dedicated platform for undergraduate and graduate computing students worldwide, offering accessible and engaging coverage of topics in computer science, technology trends, research developments, career guidance, and student experiences. The magazine’s editorial model is student-centric: it is largely edited and written by student volunteers supported by ACM staff, providing emerging writers and researchers a unique opportunity to contribute to an internationally read publication. Each issue typically has a theme and includes feature articles, interviews, opinion columns, tutorials, and insights that bridge academic study with real-world computing practice. The full text of most issues is available to ACM members through the ACM Digital Library, while a selection of content is openly accessible online. Over its history, XRDS has become a vibrant community resource that encourages discourse, learning, and professional development among student members of the global computing community.
