Join ACerS and Access a World of Resources

“I’ve found tremendous value in being a member, especially through the technical side, specifically being able to publish and to retrieve information from the journals.”

“ACerS is very much like a family, and by far the most of any professional Society I’ve ever belonged to. The family-oriented aspect is so fundamental to ACerS. It’s a large community of people looking out for each other, helping each other grow together, and supporting each other. That’s what ACerS has been in my experience and I hope will always continue to be. We know that we’re all in this together for the good of ceramics and glass.”

“Membership has been an invaluable resource as I start my career by connecting me to the ceramics community at large through various ACerS’ publications, news articles, and conferences. Being an Associate member has helped me access the tools and resources I need to help me build my career in ceramics.”

“GGRN and PCSA give you visibility to a plethora of opportunities after graduation. I knew so many people [in GGRN and PCSA] who already knew of my accomplishments—so if there was a job opening in their company they would think of me. I also learned more about myself—and that I’m capable of doing more than studying and conducting research. These memberships enabled me to meet a lot of people and get to know professionals from different industries. You get to know people who talk about their jobs and their life and it’s inspiring—it gives you ideas on what you want to be in the future.”

“My Material Advantage Chapter received full funding to attend Material Advantage's Congressional Visits Day (CVD) in Washington, D.C. CVD allows for materials science students to meet with representatives to advocate for research and development. Speaking with members of Congress about improving federal support encouraged me to discover my passion for STEM policy. My participation in CVD pushed me to apply and ultimately be selected for an internship in a U.S. Representative's office.”
