Student Membership
Regardless of the degree program you may be in or how far along you are in that program, we encourage you to attend and participate in PNW SETAC! It is a great opportunity to meet students from other institutions in the Pacific Northwest region, learn about current and emerging topics of regional interest in the field of toxicology and chemistry, interact with professionals in your field of interest, and create networks that may aid you in entering your career of choice once you graduate. Even after you graduate, you can still get student rates and benefits for up to one full year post graduation!
PNW SETAC takes pride in the support it provides students in terms of discounted membership rates, travel awards, and awards for best presentation of student research. The At-Large (Student) Representative on the PNW SETAC Board of Directors is also available to answer any questions you may have.
