Member Highlight
“The opportunity to learn new ideas and pick up new methods is one of the great benefits of staying involved in APSA. Not only can you get useful feedback when you present your work at an annual meeting, but you can be exposed to work that helps you to update how you're approaching your research. And when you serve as a section officer or on an award committee, you're able to engage with some of the brightest minds and the most innovative scholarship in our discipline.” – Leonardo Arriola
