ASPRS Student Volunteer Opportunities

Attention all student members of ASPRS!

If you have not already done so, plan now to attend this conference as a Student Volunteer and pay NO registration fee.

If you are a student at an accredited college/university and would like to attend this conference without paying the required conference registration fee, consider serving as a Student Volunteer.

The Conference Volunteer Coordinator is looking for Student Volunteers to help from Sunday, November 14 – Thursday, November 18, 2010. In exchange for the opportunity to attend the General and Technical Sessions, visit the Exhibit Hall, and enjoy the Exhibitor's Reception, Student Volunteers will be required to work at least 8 hours during the conference.

This is a great opportunity to learn more about the geospatial field, meet some of the top names in the industry, and explore job possibilities; you are encouraged to bring your resumé as a special area will be set aside for resumé postings. In addition, the ASPRS Student Advisory Council has organized a Special Session on The Hiring Process: Tips for Success and have organized informal evenings out for students during the conference.

If you are interested in attending as a volunteer, please visit the conference website for an application at http://www.asprs.org/orlando2010/volunteer.html.

Also, see the description of Volunteer Tasks at http://www.asprs.org/orlando2010/StudentAssistantandVolunteerGuidelines.pdf

All applications must be submitted by e-mail to the Conference Volunteer Coordinator, Rakesh Malhotra, at mailto:rmalhotr@uncfsu.edu. Please include ASPRS Volunteer Program in the Subject Line of all e-mail correspondence. Assignments will be made on a first come basis.

CalGIS Day 1

Huntington Beach, CA, oceanside at the Hyatt. A warm up of NOAA and open source technical sessions, $15 fruit bowls, and authentic Italian cuisine. The 13 hour drive down sort of taxed us, but Alex the bell boy gave us a great introduction to our next few days at the Hyatt. The next few days have a great lineup for all partakers to get their GIS on. Pictures to come soon.
