Dear student member:

So you've enrolled in ASPRS. What do you think? If you are like the students at my school, you feel that the journal is wonderful, but too technical. Sure, the opportunity is available to pursue scholarships, awards, and professional involvement with ASPRS membership, but going to class and studying takes up most of your career-building energy. In effect, there seems to be a limit to the usefulness of ASPRS membership.

Awaken as if out of a daytime snooze to the blast-off of your career. Hidden behind this promo is a world of people and ideas that challenge and reward your glowing enthusiasm. Mix together a concoction of ingredients based on your own personal pursuit of career pleasure and watch the bread rise in the oven of the remote sensing and photogrammetry industry. Smell the aroma that is friendship based on mutual respect. Slice your piece of the ASPRS loaf and feel your heart quicken as your taste buds caress that first bite of professional recognition. Share your masterpiece with others who savor the melted butter and sprinkles of cinnamon that your personal joy brings to the task at hand. Whether your slice is the WebPage, the Online Meetings, the Newsletter, the OnRamp to Technical Issues, the Mentoring Program, the Publication Pointers, the Chapter Growth, the Local Leaders Interface, or Something of Your Own Creation; making friends and sharing a great endeavor on the Student Activities Committee is what it is all about!

What drives you to enroll in school and pursue an education? If you are like me, you want a great job! And you want a great time while you're at it! ASPRS recognizes these truths and wants to assure you that you can have both. Develop the power to become the head chef of your career by testing your specialty with the ASPRS Student Activities Committee, where we are spreading a smorgasbord of tantalizing dishes. From appetizers, to sauces, entrees, and desserts; your personal power stems from your heart and your mind. You need to strengthen that power, build your good time/good job muscle, before you enter the career olympics.

The individuals who make up ASPRS are excited about the new opportunities abounding in GIS, Remote Sensing, and Photogrammetry, and their associated applications in other disciplines. In order to make sense of the changes occurring in science, sociology, business, and government, ASPRS is motivating their key leaders to communicate these changes and their effects so that members enter the future with power; strengthened with knowledge, and networked to implement solutions.

What are those opportunities? Participate in the Student Activities Committee and find out!
