Students Can Volunteer to Help and Attend a Continuing Education Course for FREE!
SOT’s Continuing Education (CE) Courses provide valuable information beyond what may be available to students through their scholastic programs, presented in a dynamic setting by world-renowned speakers who are experts in their fields. All students are not only encouraged to attend, but also to volunteer to assist with the courses on-site in Salt Lake City. Student volunteers assist the CE Committee and SOT staff with checking in attendees, distributing the course books, and making sure the course runs smoothly overall. As volunteers, students will not only participate behind-the-scenes and meet these prestigious presenters, but also get to attend the course for FREE!
Three to four volunteers are needed for each course. Responsibilities include attendance at an orientation meeting and preparation of some materials on Saturday evening (March 6, 2010) before the Sunday courses on March 7, 2010. In return, volunteers are not charged for attending and receive a book for each course for which they volunteer, as well as an opportunity to network with the speakers and the CE Committee over lunch. This opportunity is available to any students or postdocs who are already registered to attend the SOT 2010 Annual Meeting. Volunteers are taken on a first-come, first-serve basis and are usually asked to assist with two courses (one morning and one afternoon). The deadline to volunteer is January 15, 2010.
If you are interested in signing up as a CE Course Student Volunteer, please contact Chris Reilly or Kathy Gabrielson. Please review the list of courses on the SOT Annual Meeting Web site and specify your top three choices. Preferences for courses will be taken into consideration as much as possible.
