FAQS

We hold a variety of professional development events, socials, fundraisers, and a club trip each semester. Through these events, we also provide networking opportunities for our members to connect with current industry professionals. 

Any student that is currently enrolled in at least one (1) semester hour of University credit at Arizona State University. This can be an in-person or online course. 

Yes! We accept students in fully online ASU programs. The majority of our events are currently held virtually which makes it convenient for ay student to get involved. Most in-person events going forward will have an online component to accommodate our online students. Dues for online students are less than in-person students. 

No, we accept any and all tourism curious students. Our members come from a variety of majors and minors. We believe that no matter what major you have that you can thrive in TSA. 

While we would love to see everyone at all our meetings and events we understand that everyone has a unique schedule that may not allow for that. Instead, we have a "shoot for four policy" that asks active members to attend at least two meetings and two events throughout the semester. As a reminder, that is just the minimum and we do encourage everyone to attend events and meetings as much as possible. 

Yes, to be an active member there are dues each semester. 

Current Dues:

In-Person, Ground Students: $20

Fully Online Students: $10

We charge dues in order to keep our club running. Each semester, dues are used to fund our events and club trip. When we take club trips, dues help to reduce the trip cost for each member attending. Without dues, we would need constant fundraising and we would rather focus our efforts on offering the best professional development events possible. 

 Dues can be paid via Venmo to @DrClaireMcWills. You can also pay dues with cash or check*. If you choose to pay by check please make it payable to "Tourism Student Association". The dues can then be dropped off or snail-mailed to:
