The Student and Young Professional Support Committee (SYPSC) has developed an Annual Meeting mentor program to pair professionals that plan to attend the 2024 Annual Meeting with interested student attendees.  We hope mentors can provide advice and support both before and during the Annual Meeting to make the meeting more relaxing, enjoyable, and beneficial for students.  Students interested in being paired with a mentor will identify themselves when they register for the meeting, and will be provided with the contact information of a professional who has volunteered to be a mentor.  The student can then contact the professional with questions ranging from "What should I wear?" to "Could we meet during the Ice Breaker?" Contact Heather Clark, heather@aegweb.org for more information.

AEG's Student & Young Professional Support Committee accepts applications for travel grants for Student Members, Early Career Members, and Teacher Members that attend AEG's Annual Meetings. These grants are for $500 each and are awarded to current members based on meeting involvement and need. Grants are intended to support association members who might not otherwise be able to attend the Annual Meeting. View Travel Grant Application
