Attention December 2001 and Spring 2002 Graduates: Free Membership!

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, 2002 at no cost. For two years after that, the cost of membership is just $55 per year instead of the standard member fee of $90.

Additionally, the Automatic Junior Membership entitles the member to one complimentary book from a list made available through AIME’s Seeley W. Mudd Fund. Important Note: If you graduated in December 2001, or will be graduating in the spring of 2002 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 Tara Braden in the TMS Member Services Department at (724) 776-9000 ext. 259.
