Attention December 2004 and Spring 2005 Graduates

If you graduated in December 2004 or plan to graduate in the spring of 2005, don’t forget to renew you membership with an Automatic Junior professional membership in TMS. The Automatic Junior membership is free for the first year after graduation and for two years after that you only pay $52.50 per year. That is a savings of half off the full membership price.

We can’t tell you how many times our professional members tell us that their membership has helped them find jobs, advance in their current job, and network with other professionals from all over the world. Don’t let this opportunity pass you by because you forgot to renew. Also, members of the Material Advantage program receive a free year’s membership in ACerS, ASM, and TMS, however, you must fill out an application for each society. For more information on the program visit:

For more information or any questions about your membership, please do not hesitate to contact the membership department at students@tms.org.
