[Infovis] IEEE VR 2024 - Call for Student Volunteers

[VR Publicity]

IEEE VR 2024: the 31st IEEE Conference on Virtual Reality and 3D User
Interfaces March 16th-March 21st, 2024
http://ieeevr.org/2024/


Dedicated and enthusiastic student volunteers (SVs) are crucial for the
organization of a successful conference. Serving as a student volunteer is
also a great chance to meet and interact with scientists from the field of
Virtual Reality. Volunteering for VR 2024 is also an opportunity to gain
academic service experience—an often-critical component of post graduate
work—and valuable experience for future scientific event organization. We
look forward to receiving your application for IEEE VR 2024!

Expectations

This year, IEEE VR will take place in Orlando, Florida, USA. You must be
willing to work about 25 to 30 hours during the conference. Furthermore,
you must be available for SV orientation on Friday, March 15, before the
conference begins. Your SV duties will include: working the registration
desk on-site, helping with the setup of the conference environment,
providing assistance to speakers and attendees, and more. If you cannot
commit yourself to this time frame and this amount of work, then please do
not take away a slot from another willing student.

Eligibility

All full-time undergraduate and graduate students interested in Virtual
Reality or related disciplines are eligible. We will consider geographic
distance from the conference as well as diversity in the area of research.

The following additional considerations will influence volunteer selection:

   -

   An accepted publication/presentation at VR 2024.
   -

   Good communication skills in English.
   -

   Previous experience in event organization is desired but not required.
   -

   The number of volunteers from each region, institution, and research
   group may be balanced to ensure broad participation.
   -

   Students from underrepresented groups are especially encouraged to apply.
