Recognizing that students are an essential part of LASA and have specific needs and interests, the Student Section of LASA (SSLASA) provides a space for students to exchange experiences with one another and to contribute to the organization as a whole. At the same time, the SSLASA facilitates student’s integration into the scholarly community through activities that are aimed at professional and intellectual development. These activities include, but are not limited to, opening additional space for students’ presentations, mentoring, advising about the job market, information sharing, standards and suggestions on publications, academic contacts, timely communication on scholarship and employment offers, etc. The group is open to graduate students as well as undergraduate students.
