The Society invites you to become a University Partner. The purpose of the partnership is to expand the sense of community for students who are new to the field by including them in the Society. Beginning students rarely have any knowledge about the Society and are unaware of our member benefits including reduced prices for conference registration fees and an electronic subscription to the System Dynamics Review.
University Partners get special logo placement on our degree course listing and receive $5 discounts on membership for all current students and recent graduates (those completing in the last two years). Discount codes will be sent you shortly after payment.
