Each year at NASSM, one student representative is selected to serve on the Executive Board, and three students are selected to serve on the Student Board.  All four students are selected to serve in their positions until the following year’s elections. The following are basic job descriptions for the student positions within NASSM:

Networking Opportunities

Students have additional opportunities to get involved in NASSM through the annual conference. Unparalleled opportunities to interact with faculty from across North America and internationally are particularly helpful for those doctoral students who will be job searching upon degree completion. Students gain additional exposure through academic presentations. Conference presentations provide opportunities for you to share your work with others with similar research interests and to practice your presentation skills. Check the NASSM guidelines for abstract submission to the conference, available through the NASSM Conference link on this website. If you have any questions about the conference, please don’t hesitate to contact any member of our current Student Board.
