Here's some ways to get involved!

What is Active Member's Status?

To achieve ACTIVE MEMBER STATUS, members must accumulate a total of 25 member participation points throughout the 2010-2011 academic 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 résumé.

Ways to get involved in AMSA:

  • Contribute to the club by being an active member
