Please note that our application deadline has passed and we are no longer accepting applications for Student Volunteers. Each year, student volunteers provide a vibrant energy and enthusiasm to the annual SIGGRAPH conference. As an integral part of SIGGRAPH, student volunteers support the various programs and events hosted at the conference. Student Volunteers may serve in several support roles at the conference, ranging from audio/visual systems to interpreters and crowd control. "On-duty" volunteers are often the first responders to attendee questions, providing valuable information and direction that enhance the conference experience.   As they provide essential support to the conference, students also have an opportunity to gain insight and knowledge of the computer graphics industry and discover lasting friendships. Other benefits include opportunities to meet and collaborate with computer graphics industry professionals, association with the world's premier computer graphics conference, and a strong sense of accomplishment.   The Student Volunteer Program is looking for reliable, hard-working, independent, and enthusiastic student volunteers who want to help create the world's premier computer graphics conference.   Qualifications Applicants must be enrolled as full- or part-time high school, undergraduate, or graduate students during the 2001-2002 academic year. Applicants must be at least 16 years of age to participate as student volunteers, and those who are under 18 at the time of the conference must have parental or guardian approval. A scanned letter of approval containing your parent's or guardian's signature must be submitted to the Student Volunteers Chair if you are under 18. Applicants must be proficient in English, and all applications must be submitted in English. All students, regardless of discipline or area of interest, are encouraged to apply. No prior experience with the SIGGRAPH conference is required. We are looking for reliable, hard-working, self-starting, independent, enthusiastic students who are excited about the conference and want to be a part of the next generation of computer graphics and interactive techniques professionals.
