I started my LSA membership as a grad student. When I realized how important it was to me, I became a life member. I have benefited exponentially from all the LSA has to offer. One of the things that I value the most is the networking. As a grad student, I was fortunate to receive plenty of mentoring. Now I pay it forward by mentoring young linguists.
