Volunteer Opportunities
Volunteers are key to UMISC's success!
|
Volunteers play a vital role in helping to make UMISC a great conference. Our move to an online platform in 2020 does not change that fact! Volunteering is a wonderful opportunity for students, nonprofit staff and others to attend the conference at a reduced or no cost.
Because we are online, volunteering this year will require a basic level of computer literacy and ability to use web-browser based apps and cloud storage services. We anticipate training our volunteers on the particulars. If you need a discount on registration but are not comfortable volunteering in the virtual conference environment, please check out our scholarship program. |
