What are divisions?

Within SSSP, there are twenty-three subgroups organized around specific topics, interests, or subdisciplines, called Divisions. Each member will receive a FREE division membership and student members will receive two FREE division memberships. Members may choose additional memberships at $10 each.

The Roles and Responsibilities of Division Chairs

Division chairs are responsible for leading and running the business of the divisions that make up the structure of the Society.  So that each division's activities coordinate as a part of the whole Society, Division Chairs should familiarize themselves with the Roles and Responsibilities of Division Chairs.   

SSSP Student Paper Competition & Outstanding Scholarship Awards

Each year the twenty-three SSSP Divisions hold student paper competitions relating to each of their specific topic areas and interests. These awards recognize students for their outstanding scholarship in their respective fields. In order to be considered for any of the Student Paper Competitions, applicants are required to submit their papers through the Annual Meeting Call for Papers. Students may only submit to one division. Each division has its own deadline and submission process.

The deadline for the 2018 Student Paper Competitions and Outstanding Scholarship Awards has passed.  In order to be considered for any of the Student Paper Competitions, applicants were required to submit their papers through the Annual Meeting Call for Papers.  This ensured that winning papers are both designated and included in the program.  Students could only submit to one division and each division had its own deadline and submission process.  To see a list of the winners, click here: https://www.sssp1.org/index.cfm/pageid/2124/.
