STUDENT SUB-UNITS

Student sub-units are vital to our organization. They further USAS outreach, bringing the benefits, activities, and news of USAS to students at their institutions. Student sub-units also provide increased opportunities for student involvement in USAS and WAS activities and help students to organize and participate in aquaculture-related activities on a local scale. For questions or to submit your application package, please contact the current chair of the Student Sub-Unit Committee and student liaison.
