Student Volunteers
Student volunteers are essential to the success of the CSCW conference. In return for help at the conference, student volunteers receive a number of benefits including free conference registration, one free tutorial of their choice, a cool t-shirt, and a complimentary Conference Reception ticket. While the volunteer duties are not always glamorous, they do provide opportunities to meet and interact with CSCW contributors, attendees, and other student volunteers. Students often report that the 'social networks' they build from these interactions are the greatest benefit of being a volunteer.
Qualifications
Volunteers must be undergraduate, Master's, or Ph.D. students during the 2008-2009 academic year. All students, regardless of discipline, are encouraged to apply.
In the past we had projects in various fields such as quality control, robotics, global warming studies and mechanical engineering.
No experience is required. We are looking for enthusiastic, intelligent, reliable people. Volunteers must commit to 20 volunteer hours of work at the conference between 8-12 November 2008.
Applications
Starting on December 1, 2007, SV applications will be accepted via the online registration system at http://www.chi-sv.org/index.php/cscw2008/index.
Upon Acceptance
Student volunteers will be chosen at random from applications received by 31 May 2008. Those volunteers initially selected will be notified in June so they can begin making any necessary arrangements and get involved in the online student volunteer community. The waiting list will consist of applications received by the deadline but not initially selected. Applications received after the deadline will be placed at the end of the waiting list in the order in which they are received.
Historically, more students apply than can be accepted, so early application is encouraged. However, applicants on the waiting list are often accepted, so do not be discouraged if you are applying close to or after the preliminary deadline.
Visa Information
If you are an accepted SV and you need a visa to enter the US, please contact us immediately so we can start processing. Depending on where you are coming from and your nationality, getting a visa can be difficult, but we will work as quickly and efficiently as possible so that it is not a problem.
Housing Information
No sponsored housing will be provided to student volunteers. However, we do not think it should be difficult to find affordable accommodation and transportation options in San Diego. Please stay tuned to this space for more information as the conference draws closer.
The conference's papers and videos are available at the ACM Digital Library. Thank you to all of you who participated in the call for participation, doctoral colloquiums and workshops, as well as the keynote speakers.
