PROFESSIONAL ORGANIZATIONS
As a student you have the opportunity to belong to professional organizations. Membership to these is not very expensive and as a member you may receive magazine subscriptions, announcements such as job opportunities, and a chance to attend their professional conferences. Below, are only a few relavant links.
CONFERENCES
Participation in scientific conferences as an undergraduate is an excellent experience. It is very useful to attend these even if you have no research experience or project to present. Of course, once you do have a research project, poster and oral presentations at conferences is important and a great way to prepare for graduate school.
Undergraduate Astronomy/Physics students have participated in at least one of the conferences below, check back soon to read responses about their experiences!
