Members Area

Here's some ways to get involved!

What is Active Member's Status?

To achieve ACTIVE MEMBER STATUS, members must participate in Ten AMSA activities in addition to attending the majority of general meetings throughout the 2009-2010 school year.  If you reach active member status, your name will be placed on a list that is given to the Pre-Health Office to be added to your application.  This shows proof that you were indeed an active member in AMSA for that year.  This distinction will help to distinguish those who have truly been involved in AMSA and those who seek credit solely for an addition to their resume.
