Therefore, please consider your applications carefully, and prioritized your requests. Because more students want to attend the meetings than SIS can afford to send, selection criteria have been developed. Students are encouraged to submit requests in groups which share expenses, such as lodging and travel. The Committee will try to match students attending the same conference as a means of reducing expenses and stretching existing funds. Students who wish to be considered for financial awards from SIS must submit an application to Theresa Benedek in Room 514 - Dean's Office, by the date specified on the application.
Several responsibilities accompany the privilege of attending the meetings with financial support.
These reports may be included in the Alumni News or Linkage. If SIS should have a booth at the conference you attend, attendees are expected to assist SIS faculty or staff for a minimum of two hours per day throughout the conference. Duties vary, but may include setting up or staffing the SIS booth, assisting at social events, running errands, contacting alumni, dismantling the display, etc.
