call for student volunteers

Student Volunteer Program

ICSE 2010 is an excellent opportunity for students to meet and talk with leading academic and industrial researchers and practitioners in the area of software engineering. Being a student volunteer is also a great way to meet other students from all over the world and to offset some of the costs of the conference. Student volunteers are critical in ensuring that the conference runs smoothly.

Benefits

By becoming a student volunteer at ICSE 2010 you receive the following benefits:

1. A complementary registration to the main conference and all associated conferences, workshops, and tutorials.
2. Tickets to meals and receptions organized by the conference.
3. Free ICSE 2010 t-shirt

Requirements and Responsibilities

1. Student volunteers must be enrolled in a Ph.D., Masters, or full-time undergraduate program at the time of the conference.

2. Student volunteers will work for 20 hours during the week of the conference to help with the audio-visual equipment used by speakers, running microphones to audience members for questions, checking badges for entry to events, working at the registration desk, and other similar tasks. Some volunteers will also be needed the day before the conference starts to help fill registration bags.
