For detailed information on the benefits and responsibilities of ASES Student Chapters and steps to becoming an ASES Student Chapter, please see our Student Chapter Start-Up Requirements and Sample Bylaws and the ASES Student Chapter Handbook. Have a group of students on campus already involved in solar such as the Solar Decathlon or Solar Ambassadors? Let ASES know about the group and start attracting other like-minded students. All that is required to become an ASES student chapter is to have one faculty advisor, one student leader, and at least 5 students total.
