<strong>AAPG</strong> EXPLORER Student Member Status Expanded A reminder: <strong>AAPG</strong> Student members who graduated this fiscal year (between July 1, 2010 and June 30, 2011) now can choose to retain “Student” status for an additional 24 months after graduation – and take advantage <strong>of</strong> the lower Student dues rate <strong>of</strong> $10. Those with a non-North America mailing address must also pay the $10 mail surcharge. This new option is being <strong>of</strong>fered due to a bylaw change approved by the <strong>AAPG</strong> House <strong>of</strong> Delegates to help recent graduates with their transition to employment – and Active status. Recent graduates taking advantage <strong>of</strong> this opportunity to extend their current Student status will be reclassified as a “Student YP” (student/ young pr<strong>of</strong>essional). An important note: All recent graduates choosing to continue as a Student member are personally responsible for remittance <strong>of</strong> the $10 dues and mail surcharge. These dues cannot be paid by the Corporate Sponsorship program (currently funded by Chevron), because those funds are available only for those actively/remain enrolled in school. <strong>AAPG</strong>’s goal remains for all qualified Student (and new Associate) members to apply for advancement to Active status as soon as they meet the experience requirement.
