Graduating Students, Don't Miss Out on this Great Opportunity!

With graduation just around the corner, TMS reminds spring graduates to take advantage of the TMS Junior Member program for a free book and discounted Society membership. Students without immediate plans to continue on to graduate school can obtain junior membership benefits for $25, the same as student membership dues, for one year. For the following two years you pay only $50 per year as a junior member. As a junior member, you will receive all of the benefits of a full member, but for only a fraction of the cost. After three years, you will be eligible for full membership at the dues rate of $85.

All graduating student members are automatically eligible for this offer. To apply you must complete the Automatic Junior Application Form on-line and submit it to TMS as instructed on the form. Or, you may acquire an application through the mail by contacting Nellie Luther, TMS, 184 Thorn Hill Road, Warrendale, Pennsylvania 15086; (724) 776-9000, ext. 213, or e-mail natale@tms.org.

As a first-year junior member, you are entitled to select one complimentary book from a list of 23 titles made available through the American Institute of Mining, Metallurgical, and Petroleum Engineers's (AIME)'s Seeley W. Mudd Memorial Fund. The fund was established at AIME in 1929 in memory of Colonel Mudd's contribution to the growth of various mining enterprises.

If you wish to become actively involved in the technical and/or committee aspects of TMS, consider becoming a part of the Young Leaders Group.
