Right Now it is only $20 to join the Society for Photographic Education (through Oct 11, 2020) as a student. 2 years for $40.

This membership will give students access to all the chapter events (6 or more) happening throughout the fall for one $5 registration fee for all events (I think).
All the events will be held
virtually and this will allow for great access to lectures, panel discussions
and other photography activities. It will also give students a sense of the members
that make up this organization. Several faculty have been very involved over the years. If you have questions please reach out to rnolan@scad.edu or sbliss@scad.edu.
Note: do not use your SCAD email as a contact for the organization. Use a personal email account.
