Are you or do you know someone graduating and interested in pursuing a career in an animal-related field? Members of ASI receive unique benefits and resources that can help them accomplish their goals and excel in a variety of areas involving human and animal interactions – such fields as education, social work, law enforcement criminal justice, veterinary medicine, animal care and welfare, therapy work, psychology, research, academia and government. ASI provides a hub for students, professionals, and scholars to communicate, share information, ideas, and opportunities. Members have access to peer-reviewed scientific articles, receive discounts on the two journals edited by ASI, Society & Animals, and the Journal of Applied Animal Welfare Science, and acquire a number of resources including current news, job listings, conferences, and calls for abstracts or manuscript submissions.
