Undergraduate program orientation

Run for National Office: SASES election information

Be part of the leadership of the SASES organization and guide the activities for the undergrad members in 2026 – candidacy ballots will open on October 1, 2025. 

All National Officer candidates must upload a profile prior to CANVAS.

  • Students of Agronomy, Soil, and Environmental Sciences will close candidacy submission period on November 4. Check out the Elections & Officer Duties page to learn more.
  • The SASES Business Meeting is followed by mandatory Club Delegate Training, where student representatives are trained on voting procedures. In the event that multiple self-nominations are received, a SASES primary election will take place at the conclusion of the training.
  • Serve as a Club Delegate – two representatives will represent their club by voting in officer elections. Plan and select delegates to represent your club.

Career development sessions for undergraduates

CANVAS offers numerous opportunities for undergrads to network with industry, Society professionals, and learn about future career opportunities. 

Here are some options to explore: 

What should I wear?

For most SASES events, be comfortable, consider repping your club’s logo wear. Tours are very casual! If you are giving a presentation, attending a professional event that day, or attending the SASES Awards Dinner, consider business casual attire. You never know when you’ll run into a potential employer! 

Check out the Student FAQs for more information on what to expect.

Finally…

Undergrads are encouraged to participate in professional sessions and workshops within the professional schedule – not just the SASES events! 

Consider attending other sessions while at the meeting – join your advisor or check out the program schedule to find events that may interest you.
