Student Sections

Student Sections encourage Society membership among students and foster their professional development and growth. These student groups are sponsored by an established local Section. An officer or specially designated Executive Committee member acts in the capacity of advisor to and liaison between the local and student Sections. In addition, a representative of the Student Section sits on the Executive Committee of the senior group.
