The process - Form a group of at least 10 students and one faculty advisor.
- Write a petition letter to the SEG President requesting to form a chapter.
Be sure to include the following in your letter:
- Interest in forming a chapter
- Faculty Advisor information and student chapter mailing addresses
- Faculty Advisor signature
- Elect officers, including President, Secretary, and Treasurer, and provide their e-mail address (download Student Chapter Officer Report template).
- Provide a constitution for your chapter (download a sample constitution).
Notes It is not a prerequisite that members of Student Chapters be members of SEG in order to obtain a charter. However, we encourage them to join if they choose. The Constitution of the proposed Chapter will need to be approved by the SEG Constitution and Bylaws Committee. Any deviations from SEG's "Model" Constitution will be carefully considered by the Constitution and Bylaws Committee. The Executive Committee will vote on the proposed Chapter's petition and, if approved, issue a charter. Once chartered, the Society will provide a complimentary subscription to Geophysics and The Leading Edge to the Student Chapter in care of the Faculty Advisor.
