Non-Participating Undergraduate Student Group Rate

MSS offers a group rate for undergraduate students not participating in the meeting as a presenter, facilitator, presider or other named participant. The intention of this group rate is to introduce undergraduate students to MSS by providing a reduced rate for a small group. These group rates will be available when registration opens in December. Check back for more information on accessing these rates.

  • Each group consists of undergraduate students only.
  • Students in the group are not required to be members of MSS.
  • Students participating in the meeting must pay standard student rates (not part of a group rate).
  • Each group must be sponsored by an MSS professional member who is attending the meeting.
  • All names must be supplied in advance to the Executive Director for input to the MSS database.
  • Group rates are available to any institution of higher education, not limited to the Midwest region.

Individual non-participating students may choose to purchase student memberships and register at the student rate. The Non-Participant Undergraduate Student Group rate is intended for and financially beneficial to small groups.
