American Astronomical Society needs volunteers for 2012 conference
by Jamie Gonzales |
The American Astronomical Society (AAS) will be holding its summer meeting in Anchorage
June 10-14. An estimated 1,800 astronomers will be coming. The AAS is looking for
volunteers to help out. Do you know anyone interested in astronomy who might like
to attend for free?
Volunteers that sign up to work a minimum of 16 hours will receive complimentary meeting
registration, volunteer t-shirts, access to the Exhibit Hall and all the sessions
and to the Opening Reception. We will also provide complimentary lunch and parking
on the days you work 4 or more hours.
This is an excellent opportunity for undergrads, grad students, postdocs and local
amateur astronomers to: supervise sessions, help at registration, usher at events
and various other odd (but greatly appreciated) jobs. Don't miss the chance to meet
and mingle with your peers, get up to date on the newest science and pick up some
cool freebies. Sign up today.
