Student Members are persons currently enrolled (part- or fulltime) in an accredited college or university program and pursuing a degree (e.g., associate’s, bachelor’s, master’s, doctoral). Student Members may be asked to validate their student status by means of submitting confirmation documents (e.g., enrollment verification) as determined by the Board of Directors.
