ACSM encourages all schools with surveying, mapping and related curriculum in the geospatial sciences to form and actively support their local Student Chapter. Through the Student Chapter, students can participate in the national organization, communicate with leaders of their profession, exhibit in State and National conferences, gain valuable contacts in their area of interest and investigate career opportunities.
