Planning Student Organizations (PSO)

PSOs are organizations of 10 or more APA Student Members. They are intended to help develop strong working relationships between students and their respective Chapters, and to foster a sense of community between planning students nationally and even internationally.

PSOs also provide an organizational structure through which students can make their needs and concerns known to APA National, and provide a framework through which they can address their respective academic departments.
