The Acoustical Society of America is a national organization dedicated to increasing the knowledge of acoustics, facilitate its dissemination, and promote its practical application. The AA&A student chapter of ASA is committed to helping students network, exchange information and ideas, and learn more about the world of acoustics at the local level. The chapter members are involved in activities like academic enrichment, professional development, resume building, technical presentations, and industry tours.  Meetings are held once a month, generally on a Thursday evening. Anyone interested in acoustics is welcome!
