The Chapter sponsors events in various ways. Some of these are public lectures; others are workshops or conferences which the Chapter endorses with no financial involvement.

By offering Student Travel Grants to student authors at workshops or conferences supported by the Chapter, the Chapter indirectly supports the event. These grants are for selected events only; not all conferences. More information on the Student Travel Grants can be found on our WWW page.
