See the Annual Meeting from behind the scenes by volunteering as a Student
Session Aide!
Session Aides serve a very important role as liaison between
symposium organizers and speakers and AAAS Headquarters.
Students will work closely with AAAS administrators to ensure that
the meeting runs smoothly, and will get the chance to listen to and meet a
range of interesting people, including leading scientists, Nobel Laureates,
popular authors, government leaders, and radio and television personalities.
