Student Members

“Being a student member of CPRS has been a very valuable experience for me. I have been able to network and connect with top professionals in the industry and have learned so much from the lessons they have to teach. Winning the Dean Miller Award has also been a great experience. It allows me to showcase the work I have done and it gives me a competitive edge during the job search. I am planning to continue with CPRS because I have seen the value of membership.”

- Lydia Frey, Dean Miller Scholarship Winner
