Entering the workforce after graduation would be a lot more intimidating if I didn t already have the support of the people I ve met because of my ASCE membership. There really isn t any other venue that closes the gap between students, recent grads, young engineers, and those who have gained some pretty solid experience but are still close enough in age to really remember what this first major career transition is about. I m really glad I took ASCE up on the free student membership offer it s a great deal. Tyler D. Doppelheuer, LEED Green Assoc., S.M.ASCE Pennsyvania State University
