To encourage students to join ASA as an integral part of their career development, ASA collaborates with departments to help students join ASA for the first time.
With a minimum of five first-time student members "bundled" by your department, ASA will send each student a free ASA stainless steel travel mug with ASA logo (a $5 value). Departments are asked to subsidize what they can (in this past, this has ranged from a $5 departmental contribution to a full-subsidy of the cost of student membership), and students pay the remainder. Students should complete an application and attach a check for their portion of the dues. The department should cut one check for the department’s contribution for the number of students responding.
Note that in addition to the $19 student membership dues, each student must select at least one ASA journal. The combined payment received must include payment for both dues and journals. Free travel mug offer applies to new student members only. Membership is for the 2009 calendar year.
Bundle all the forms and checks into one envelope and mail to Craig Schaar, ASA Membership Manager, 1430 K Street NW, Suite 600, Washington, DC 20005. Include a note stating that this is a department package. The forms and checks must come in together. Shortly after receipt of your student applications, ASA will ship a complimentary travel mug to each new member included in your package of applications. (To request printed application forms, e-mail schaar@asanet.org.)
