Attention December 1999 and Spring 2000 Graduates!

Don’t forget to continue your professional affiliation in the materials field upon graduation through the TMS Automatic Junior Program. Upon graduation, students may obtain full TMS membership through December 31, 2000, at no cost. For the next two years, the cost of membership is $55.00 per year instead of the standard member fee. Additionally, automatic junior membership entitles the member to one complimentary book from a list made available through the American Institute of Mining, Metallurgical, and Petroleum Engineers’ Seeley W. Mudd Fund.

If you graduated in December 1999 or will be graduating in the spring of 2000 and do not intend to go on to graduate school, do not renew your student membership. Upon graduation, you are not eligible to continue your joint ASM/TMS student or TMS student membership. This is why it is important that you apply for individual membership in TMS via the Automatic Junior Membership program.

Any questions? Please contact the TMS Member Services Department at (724) 776-9000, ext. 241.
