DUES DEADLINE TODAY!


As our recruitment season comes to a close, our deadline for paying dues is now here! Email Jimmy Mai or message him on GroupMe before 8pm today to secure your AMA membership!

After the deadline has passed, it is still possible to join, but becomes more complicated due to AMA National dues. We encourage students to ask us more about AMA if you're still deciding, and we'd be happy to show you why we're an AMAzing organization!
