SAME Student Members
Student Members represent the next generation of innovative STEM thinkers ready to take on the engineering challenges facing our national security. The Society is committed to recognizing the need to cultivate this valuable asset, and provide mentoring, occupational, training, leadership, and networking opportunities.
Joining SAME as a Student Member is a great way to learn more about the A/E/C industry and the nation’s critical infrastructure needs, begin to build your professional network, and find and develop mentoring relationships, and connect with peers interested in similar career paths.
Student Members can participate in Student Chapters, which are located in colleges, universities, and service academies across the country. Because they are sponsored by an SAME Post, Student Chapters also provide an opportunity for deeper connections to local professionals and mentors in the A/E/C industry.
