SEI Graduate Student Chapters

Unique to SEI, Graduate Student Chapters (GSC) can broaden your view of what it means to be a structural engineering professional and prepare for a successful transition from student/college to career professional. These chapters focused solely on graduate students receive the same benefits as a local professional chapter (listed above).
