NAACL HLT 2009 is looking for a limited number of student volunteers. In exchange for one full day's work, student volunteers receive free registration to the main conference. The work will be divided, probably into two half-day shifts, and the shifts will be scheduled to maximize volunteer access to the conference events. We may be able to provide other amenities, and will certainly try to provide a good work environment. Tasks will include assisting at the registration desk, stuffing delegate packs, and providing technical assistance for conference events. Wishes about attendance to specific conference events will be taken into account when possible in allocating tasks.

Volunteers are needed from the evening of May 30 through June 5. (But we do not require all volunteers to arrive by May 30). The ACL Student Volunteer Program is open to full-time students only.

There is no application form. Apply by sending email to the following address: put "Student Volunteer Application" in the subject header of your message.
