The participation and contribution of students are important parts of Evaluation 2007. A number of student-oriented services and activities will be offered in conjunction with the Baltimore meeting.

VOLUNTEERING OVERVIEW: Volunteering at the conference is a great way to meet other student-colleagues as well as a range of conference attendees! By volunteering, you will be eligible to receive a free conference registration (please note that we no longer have discounted hotel rooms available). Volunteers MUST be enrolled full-time in their college/university to qualify for this program. Students will assist in a scheduled position for approximately four hours at the conference. We cannot run our conference without volunteers and we are thankful to all of those who step forward. Volunteer slots will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis. We encourage you to sign up at your earliest convenience.

How do we say 'thank you' to Evaluation 2007 student volunteers?

You receive a waived conference registration!

TYPES OF VOLUNTEERS: There are many ways to volunteer at Evaluation 2007. Please read the descriptions below to choose an opportunity that is a good match for your skills and interests.

Evaluation Assistants: Evaluation Assistants organize evaluation packets, distribute evaluation packets to workshops, pick up evaluation packets, organize evaluation forms, and/or collect data such as counts of roundtable attendees.

Event Assistants: Volunteer event assistants work with event coordinators to setup, coordinate, and breakdown key events during the conference.

Exhibitor Support: These volunteers will assist the exhibit staff by making sure the exhibit area is kept orderly and picking up any debris left on or around the exhibit tables. Provide directions and assistance to attendees trying to locate specific tables. Offering the exhibit staff to watch their table so they can take a short breaks if needed.

Photographers: You MUST have your own digital camera and appropriate storage media for this position. Photographers should be comfortable enough with their cameras to obtain presentation-ready pictures of conference participants.

PowerPoint Specialist: This volunteer is an experienced developer of PowerPoint presentations including importing pictures and adding text. You will be asked to develop a PowerPoint presentation from pictures taken throughout the conference for presentation chduring Friday Night's silent auction.

Registration Desk: Volunteers at the registration desk welcome attendees, distribute nametags and packets, provide directions, and answer questions (orientation will provide you with what you need to know). Registration desk volunteers may also be asked to assist the AEA staff with onsite registrations (typing nametags) and on the conference floor between sessions to provide directions and assistance to attendees.

Room Checkers: These volunteers assist with room checks on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday morning. Students will be provided with a list of the expected setup and Audio Visual in each room and will be asked to confirm those setups as well as to act as an information source for attendees during their shift.

Setup: This group will be responsible for packet stuffing, nametag preparation, setup of the registration area, and last minute preparation for the conference as needed. Dress is casual and we all pitch in to get the work done and hopefully get out early!
