Welcome to the Official Webpage for the
System Administration and Software Development Club
About Us
The System Administration and Software Development Club (SAD) is a student organization at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County that provides a space on campus for students who share a common interest in programming, computer hardware, computer networks, and modern software development.
SAD aims to unite students with a wide range of computer skills and provide them with knowledge and resources to build computer systems, creating a welcoming environment that encourages year-round collaboration.
We hold weekly meetings in a hybrid format (online and in-person) from the ILSB where our members may hold talks, participate in workshops, and collaborate together on club projects. We also provide a Linux server environment for members to practice their skills in virtualization, networking, security, identity management technology, and web development.
More Information
We invite the students of UMBC to learn more about the infrastructure that continually builds today's cyber space.
All Levels Welcome
Whether you're brand new to the world of SysAd or run servers of your own, we strive to be inclusive of all experience levels.
Community-Focused Content
Every meeting topic is voted upon and presented by our members. Have a topic of your own? Take the podium and show everyone what you find interesting!
