2. Part-time students enrolled in a degree or certificate program
3. Under-employed individuals, and those attending the conference at their own expense.

What are the benefits of volunteering?

• Exposure to prospective employers and plenty of opportunity for networking
• Free attendance at tutorials at which you are serving
• Registration rebate off the regular student fee (applied after service is completed)
• Distinctive UPA "Student Volunteer" shirt to be worn while on duty

What are the duties and responsiblities?

• You must be available throughout the conference (June 7 - 11)
• You must perform at least 15 hours of service, staffing the information booth, registration desk and asssisting session chairs and tutorial intructors

Does UPA support travel and lodging?

Unfortunately, UPA cannot provide travel or lodging subsidies to student volunteers. We encourage you to share rooms at the conference hotel, and will help you find a roommate, if needed.

How many student volunteer slots are available?

There will be at least 14 Student Volunteers. Slots will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis, with priority given to full-time students. Applications for student volunteers will be accepted starting in the early spring.
