What are the requirements for staying in SMA, if any?

The only requirement is to pay your membership dues! We use member dues to directly cover the cost of food provided at each meeting—so it really goes right back to you. Beyond that, we ask that you participate, ask questions, and stay engaged at each meeting.

Would I be able to get a scholarship to help pay dues due to financial hardship?

Yes, email us! We would love to have you be a part of SMA, regardless of any financial hardships.

How often and at what times do you meet?

We meet every Wednesday from 6–7 PM in Hanson Hall on West Bank. We also host collaborative meetings with other clubs throughout the year, so those times may vary. All meeting logistics are included in our weekly emails and on our social media.

How can I get a leadership role in SMA?

There are many ways to build leadership through SMA! At the end of each semester, we have board members who are studying abroad or graduating, and we look to fill their roles. Interviews for these positions take place in December and May. Additionally, we offer a mentorship program where upperclassmen can mentor younger students. This program opens at the start of each semester.

If I cannot make it to the meetings every Wednesday, is that okay?

 Yes! We would love to have you at as many meetings as possible, but we understand that school and other life commitments may come up.
