SER’s Student Association Program provides an opportunity for students interested in ecological restoration and related fields to become involved in SER’s global network, participate in SER conferences and events, and take advantage of SER resources. "Involvement in SER provides students with a number of valuable resources and opportunities. At SER’s biennial World Conference, students are able to share their knowledge and experiences, network with other student associations, and interact with restoration experts from around the world. SER’s 14 regional chapters provide students with access to experts in their region and opportunities to participate in chapter conferences, leadership, and activities. Many SER chapters provide discounted student membership rates and student positions within their leadership structure. "Not only do student associations connect budding restoration professionals with SER’s global community, they also provide a means for students to organize hands-on activities in their own communities and pursue professional development opportunities as a collective. Existing SER student associations have organized a variety of activities, including: volunteer and social events, native plant sales, restoration projects, workshops, roundtable discussions, career fairs, and fundraising activities, among others. "Student associations are officially recognized within SER but operate under the rules that govern student organizations at their academic institutions. Each student association pays a $160 USD annual fee to SER to receive a variety of benefits (summarized below). ... For a detailed explanation of each benefit, please read the Student Association Information Packet. "-Free student memberships in SER for all of your student association members (Student membership costs $20)
-A free individual membership for the faculty advisor (a $50 value - lucky Steve!)
-A variety of benefits specific to the student association (e.g., access to post volunteer and training opportunities, official recognition by SER, free promotional materials etc.)
-Networking and participation benefits for all student association members
-Membership benefits for each student association member (e.g., SERNews, access to our career center, conference discount, and more)"
