Great news!<br>
<br>
The SC student volunteer Web page is now active and ready for submissions
for both AG node volunteers and regular student volunteers. This is
an outstanding opportunity for your students to participate in the real
world activities associated with SC 01. Students who have
participated in the past list it as one of their most memorable college
experiences.<br>
<br>
If your students are being trained on the AG and can help with SC Global
at SC 01, most of their expenses (including travel, housing, meals at the
conference and registration) will be paid by the conference. Of
course, they'll be able to participate in the conference when they're not
working, and they'll receive conference goodies including a cool t-shirt
or two.<br>
<br>
We hope to be able to provide enough student AG volunteers to support the
SC Global nodes and to provide relief to the other AG node operators so
they can take health breaks, etc. You, the ag-tech group, are the
only source of student AG volunteers!<br>

</b></i>This initial experimental year, it was decided that the we should
do everything possible to enable AG volunteers to participate, so their
travel expenses are covered. I should point out that, as in the
past, <i>regular student volunteers'</i> travel expenses will not be
covered by the conference. <br>
