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. To access group rates, please email Jennifer Talarico, MSS Executive Director, at [email protected], by March 1, 2020, with the completed Non-Participating Undergraduate Student Group Registration Form.

Any groups larger than 30 will be assessed a rate via the Executive Director.

• 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.

*Under special circumstances, institutions may request a reduced group fee or waiver. Such request should be made by sending an email to Jennifer Talarico, MSS Executive Director, at [email protected].

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