The American Society for Nutrition has nearly 4,000 members, and
provides a variety of programs for its student members - who
account for almost 20 percent of total membership. Individuals
with an interest in nutrition and who are candidates for an
undergraduate, graduate, or medical degree from an accredited
institution may apply for student membership in the ASN.
To facilitate scientific exchange among members who focus on
specific scientific topics, the Society has established interest
sections or groups. The
Student Interest Group (SIG) focuses on the
interests of student members in the Society. Students are
informed of and encouraged to participate in various activities
that center on enabling them to gain the most from their
nutritional science education. Society activities allow students
to network and prepare for post-academic success. Members of the
SIG also work as liaisons with other committees in ASN to provide
student perspective where it is needed.
