Very exciting news!
The chairperson of the Student Volunteers at SIGGraph has asked me to submit a list to him of students who I recommend to be volunteers. A few years ago when the conference was in LA we sent some student volunteers who had an AMAZING experience.

Read up on what the conference and being a volunteer has to offer. Complete the application and follow the instructions in the "how to apply" heading on the left-hand side.

Applications must be submitted and completed via the Online Application Form by 15 February 2010, 22:00 UTC/GMT.
