COVID-19 RESPONSE: With a minimal staffing and work-from-home plan devised, we at the central office will we able to continue processing memberships and merchandise orders. We are NOT set up to receive applications and payments directly from students, but encourage advisors to collect apps and fees by mail. You can then either email the completed packet and pay online or send the packet and payment by regular mail.

We extend our best wishes to you all, and our deep appreciation for the dedication of our advisors working through this time on behalf of their students.
