May 19 — For those undergraduate and graduate students interested in being a Student Volunteer at SC16 time is quickly running out.
Benefits include making mentor connections, attending workshops, access to world-class technical sessions, and forging relationships that will last your entire career.
Student Volunteers play a key role in supporting the overall conference and conference attendees. Undergraduate and graduate student volunteers help with the administration of the conference and have the opportunity to participate in student-oriented activities, including professional development workshops, technical talks by famous researchers and industry leaders, exploring the exhibits and developing lasting peer connections.
This year the Student Volunteers program will accept an increased number of students, both local and international, with the goal of transitioning students into the main conference by way of the Technical Program, Doctoral Showcase, and Early Career professional development sessions. With the increased number of students we are accepting this year, we will require assistance from universities/institutions/organizations to help support students to the conference. Please see below the expenses that will be covered or not be covered by the conference. For questions regarding the program, please email [email protected].
