SPE sponsors nearly 100 student chapters in nine countries around the world. Chapters are formed at technical colleges and universities where there are courses and programs in plastics.

There is also an SPE Sigma Pi Epsilon Honor Society which recognizes outstanding academic achievements by SPE Student Members. At ANTEC (SPE's Annual Technical Conference), students present papers and particpate as ushers.

For those students about to graduate, the Society publishes the Student Resume Book, which is distributed to all exhibiting companies at ANTEC.

Do you know of any fellow students who are not members of SPE? Let them know what they're missing. Student membership in SPE leads to professional contacts and industry involvement...it can be your passport to a future as a plastics professional.

The "Wonders of Plastics" - Section and Division sponsored International Essay Contest for high school and junior high school students.
