Location to come.
The APPAM Annual Fall Research Conference can be an overwhelming experience, particularly for first-time attendees and students who may not know how to make the most of their conference experience and the opportunities it offers. Our Student Ambassadors are here to make the annual meeting more approachable and provide a positive and welcoming experience for conference attendees.
Ambassadors are active student members that are highly knowledgeable about the association. They are willing to commit to volunteering: serve as panel chairs, serve as ignite session hosts, assist conference attendees, and serve and support the conference where needed.
Interested in becoming a Student Ambassador? Learn more and apply by September 20, 2024.
