 Student Information
The TMS 2005 Annual Meeting & Exhibition offers students, interested in materials science and
engineering, a variety of opportunities to gather technical information, explore career possibilities,
and network with students and professionals in the field.
Student members of Material Advantage or TMS may attend all of the technical
sessions, exhibits, and lectures held Monday through
Thursday on a complimentary basis.
Session Monitors
Students have the opportunity to partially defray their conference
expenses by serving as session monitors. Monitors are
responsible for assisting the session chair, recording session

of openings will be available to cover cancellations. Pre-assigned

Monitor positions will be assigned on a first-come basis.
