Student Volunteers Needed
Students,
would you be interested in volunteering in exchange for attending the
conference and dinner for free? We would also seat you at lunch with a Clarke Prize Laureate so you
have the opportunity to engage one-on-one with a leading researcher in the
water industry.
Volunteers
would be requested to assist our staff all day at both the conference and
dinner; however, there will be plenty of free time to watch the presentations
and network with your peers. Visit our conference website at www.clarkeprize.com to download the
volunteer application. The deadline for applications is October 31, 2013.
Please note that we will be selecting between two to four volunteers to assist
us.
