Graduate students who are interested in assisting in the symposium rooms during the 2006 MRS Spring Meeting are encouraged to apply for a Symposium Assistant position.

Symposium Assistants deliver essential meeting materials to the technical sessions, operate audiovisual equipment and room lighting, track and record attendance, and perform other tasks requested by the session chairs.

By assisting in a minimum of four half-day sessions, students will receive a complimentary student registration, a one-year MRS student membership commencing July 1, 2006, and a stipend to help defray expenses. Symposium Assistant positions will be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis, as needed.

Application forms will be available from this page by November 1, 2005.
