MSPA Student Membership
Welcome future school psychologists to the Minnesota
School Psychologists Association (MSPA) website.
MSPA appreciates and values its student members and their fresh
perspectives so we really encourage you to join!
As a member, you can participate in regional and state activities, and
have opportunities to network with future colleagues and potential
employers.
Student Membership
MSPA encourages student membership by recognizing that money is usually tight for students and offering a reduced membership fee. Students who are enrolled, full time, in college, or who are working as interns, are eligible for reduced rates.
Student Representatives
MSPA sponsors two student representatives from Minnesota State University Moorhead and two from the University of Minnesota. Student representatives are responsible for communication regarding student activities at the Midwinter Conference, are invited to participate in MSPA Board Retreats, and can get a jump start on being active in your state association! (Being a student representative to the Board of Directors of MSPA looks particularly nice on a vita!)
Students at the MSPA Midwinter Conference
Student Volunteers
Student volunteers are needed for assistance at the Midwinter Conference. Once again, MSPA offers students an opportunity to afford attendance at the conference through a reduced conference rate for volunteering.
Student Activites
The MSPA Midwinter Conference is usually an excellent experience for students. For example, in January 2005, students had the opportunity to hear Dr. Samuel Ortiz, a true leader of his field, speak about multicultural assessment and learn about DIBELS from Dr. Ruth Kaminski herself! In addition to experiencing presentations from some of the leaders in our field, you can also get to know fellow school psychologist students from other programs and experience a bit of the area where the conference is held.
