Establishing environments where students can collaborate and learn about standards
In 2020, ASTM International launched its Student Chapter Program to connect ASTM committees with academic institutions. The program strives to cultivate intellectually and professionally rewarding environments where students can collaborate and learn the standards development process within ASTM International. This enriching experience not only aligns with the academic pursuits of students but also addresses their professional aspirations, helping to prepare them for successful careers in their respective disciplines, and understanding the importance of standards development.

Chapter President, Florida International University
"As the president of the ASTM student chapter at FIU, I am incredibly proud and excited about the opportunities this chapter brings to its members. Being involved in this chapter means being part of a dynamic community that bridges the gap between academia and the standards industry. As a Ph.D. engineering student and researcher, I am involved in standards on a daily basis, and I have even integrated ASTM standards into my dissertation. It’s an honor to lead a group of talented individuals who are passionate about making a positive impact on the world through standardization. We are excited to continue collaboration with ASTM, industry professionals, and fellow students to drive innovation, raise awareness about this initiative, and create positive change.”
