Students

Professional Societies have many resources to offer students and young professionals and are a great way to network! 

NC ASA is an active Chapter with a vibrant community and is one of the largest chapters of the ASA.  Students receive substantially reduced memberships!
Consider joining NC ASA / ASA today!

Students should always feel welcome to join NC ASA Socials and other events.  A 2018 graduate stated:
"I ended up making a great connection with an ASA member at an NC ASA social event over the summer.  This person was very helpful to my job search.  I have accepted a job offer that seems like an ideal first full-time job out of grad school, in that I'll be working as a part of a team of statisticians.  I am excited to begin in the new year!"
