AM05 LogoStudent 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 attendance, and assisting with audio/visual equipment. Monitor positions have been pre-assigned, but each day a limited number of openings will be available to cover cancellations. Pre-assigned students, and students interested in being wait-listed for daily openings, must report to Authors’ Coffee, Level II of the Moscone West Convention Center each morning by 8:00 am. Monitor positions will be assigned on a first-come basis.

Student Chapters

Don’t forget to select a representative and submit the TMS Travel Reimbursement Program form and travel receipts, granting each chapter up to $500 per calendar year to send student(s) to TMS conferences!
