Why is Student E-Membership free?
The American Concrete Institute is committed to providing students with the connections, resources, and opportunities that they need to be successful in their studies. With free Student E-Membership, students in concrete-related fields will be better equipped for successful careers in the industry. Student members will be encouraged to continue their ACI membership post graduation as young professional members and individual members.

How can I meet people in the concrete industry?
The best way for you to meet people in your area is to get involved with the local chapter. To find your local chapter, please visit ACI’s chapter locator.

Additionally, your school may have a chapter. To meet concrete professionals from around the world, consider attending an ACI seminar or convention – as a Student E-Member, you will receive a greatly discounted registration rate.

How can I get published in an ACI publication?
ACI encourages student participation and publication. If you are interested in submitting a paper, research project, or article for publication in one of ACI’s Journals, Concrete International, or other publication click here.

What information will I be able to access from CI and Journal?
ACI student members have spoken, and they want access to ALL archived articles and research from CI and ACI Journals. In an effort to provide these resources, ACI has made them available – as well as current articles and research from each publication – online for free to all ACI Student E-Members. For a fee, Student Members can elect to receive CI and one Journal in the mail instead of electronically. Students who wish to receive both journals in the mail can do so for an additional fee.

What happens after I graduate?
ACI is committed to your success as you transition from being a student to a professional in the concrete industry. After you graduate, you are eligible to apply for one year of free young professional membership in ACI. Following that one-year period, ACI encourages you to join as a dues-paying Young Professional or Individual member.
