Call For Student Volunteers
ANLP-NAACL conference in Seattle April 29 - May 4

We are looking for student volunteers to help with registration and other
tasks.  Volunteers will have their conference registration fee waived and
be expected to work about 8-10 hours (one day) during the conference.

If you are interested in volunteering, please contact Greg Silber
(silber at mail.eecis.udel.edu). There are a limited number of positions, so
please respond early. If you are giving a paper or attending a workshop at
a particular time, please include that information so we can work out
scheduling.

Travel and Accomodation Grants

There will be a limited number of grants for travel and accomodation
expenses for students available.  IBM is providing six $500 grants and
others are pending.  Criteria will include whether the student is
presenting a paper, had submitted a paper, is volunteering to assist at
ACL, or has particular financial needs.  Please send mail to Greg Silber
(silber at mail.eecis.udel.edu) outlining how you meet the above criteria
and/or have particular financial needs, such as not having funding from
your university.
