Student Assistant ProgramOpen to AMS undergraduate student members only The Student Assistant Program provides partial travel support to students willing to assist AMS staff in administering the annual meeting. Student assistants help with various tasks, including meeting registration, book/retail exhibit, committee meetings, and audio visual requirements. When students are not working, they have the opportunity to attend sessions and visit the exhibit area. AMS provides all student assistants with hotel accommodations (which you will share with another student), meeting registration, and a small per diem to help offset daily meal expenses. Students must secure their own travel arrangements to and from Atlanta. AMS does not cover travel cost. Students who are interested must be a current student member of AMS. If you are not a student member and would like to become one, click on the following link to apply http://www.ametsoc.org/newmember/index.cfm. Also, students must be referred by their academic advisor. Names will be accepted until the designated number of assistant slots is met; a waiting list will be established after that time. Please note that we will be accepting up to four students from any one school (unless the number of assistants needed is not met). Students are not allowed to serve as a student assistant for more than two meetings. Although the opportunity to be a student assistant is fun and educationally rewarding, it is also a demanding job and AMS takes this program very seriously. We are looking for students that can work well with others, be depended upon, and are able and willing to take direction from AMS staff members. The 9th Annual WeatherFest will be held Sunday, 17 January 2010 from 12:00 noon until 4:00 PM. WeatherFest is an interactive four-hour science and weather fair free to the public. WeatherFest Features weather demonstrations, hands-on weather and climate related activities and more. A number of volunteers will be scheduled to work at this exhibit. Students who are not scheduled to work during these hours are invited to attend this eventful occasion. Further information can be found at the following web site http://www.ametsoc.org/meet/annual/weatherfest.html. To apply, complete this application form and submit it no later than 16 October 2009. There is no other recourse once the deadline date has passed. If you are not a current student member, you will need to apply for membership prior to applying for a student assistant position. To learn more about the benefits of membership visit our member service page at http://www.ametsoc.org/MEMB/index.html. Any questions regarding the student assistant program may be directed to Donna Sampson at dsampson@ametsoc.org or 617‑227‑2426 ext. 246. Applicants will be notified, via e‑mail, as to whether or not they have been accepted for the student assistant position.
