Speaking of AIGA, you should all join now while you are students since the price jumps from $75 for students to $295 once you are a professional. Aside from free or cheap entrance to Atlanta events, it's totally worth the $ just to have access to the AIGA job listings. Listings are restricted to members and are arguably the best design job postings around. go to www.aiga.org/content.cfm/memberbenefits to join.

If you are already a student member, please double-check that you are affiliated with the UGA student chapter--not just signed up as a general student member, otherwise our group doesn't get 'credit.'
