  • Volunteers contribute 10 – 12 hours throughout the weekend: Friday, May 17 – Sunday, May 19.
  • Work times are scheduled around lectures as often as possible, but it may be a necessity to miss some of the program, which you can make up through audio and video recordings (no additional charge for either).

We will notify you shortly whether you’ve been accepted and how to register for the symposium. Your registration is final only when you have been accepted and complete your Full-Time Work Study symposium registration.

Positions are limited and may fill at any time, so be sure to complete your symposium registration as soon as possible to secure your spot.

We thank you for your interest and look forward to working with you!
