If you are earning your final degree this year and will no longer be a student, it’s important that you remain a part of the SIAM community. Getting started in a career can be a little unsettling, but SIAM can help you through the rough spots.
To ease the transition from student membership to full regular membership, SIAM offers early career membership at 50% of the regular membership price for the first three years after receiving your final degree ($73 in 2015), then 25% off for the fourth and fifth years ($109 in 2015) instead of $145. If you’ll be graduating this year and not continuing as a student next year, you can remain a part of the SIAM community for just 20 cents a day!
