Student Volunteer (SV) selections were based on applications received by
July 14, 2003. We identified six categories of candidates listed in
priority order below. Priority was given to categories likely to ensure
quality, highly motivated volunteers. We have funding for a total of 45
SVs. The top four categories defined a group of 44 volunteers. One SV
was selected from category 5 to complete the initial set of 45 SVs. The
remaining two candidates in category 5 were assigned the first two
positions in the alternate, or wait, list. The candidates in category 6
were randomly assigned positions on the alternate list. As of July 14,
we have identified 45 SVs and 11 alternates. One applicant was not
considered a candidate for selection.

3. Applicants with previous SV experience |

(45 SVs plus 11 alternates) |
Selected SVs and alternates must confirm (or not) their availability
upon receipt of notification. Please notify us immediately if your
availability changes so that we can notify an alternate.
We will continue to accept applications to build a longer alternate
list. From past experience, we expect that some of the selected SVs will
be unable to attend the conference or will find other sources of
funding. Some alternate positions will be reserved for students with
accepted posters applying after the poster selections have been
announced. Other suitable applicants (candidates) applying after July
14 will be assigned alternate positions after the reserve block in order
of application.
