Annual Meeting testimonial from Grand Canyon student, Zack Merhavy:

"After starting the chapter at GCU, we wanted to get as involved as possible, so naturally, we had to go to the Annual Meeting, apply for the student scholarship, and try to hear from as many members of ASA as possible. Looking back at the experiences over the last year with ASA, it has been incredible to hear from so many accomplished individuals who never lost sight of, and truly believe in, the idea that science and faith will never be separate from one another. It was being able to spend a few days with so many like-minded people that not only expanded our knowledge on the concept, but who are individuals we can look up to and be connected with all over the world. ASA is an incredible opportunity for anyone needing that deeper understanding of how science and faith can coexist and work as one. It is a place where students, education professionals, and industry professionals alike can share ideas and present what they have learned and tested. We are very excited to see what the 2018 Annual Meeting has in store for us this year!"
