Volunteer at BU Conference on Language Development
by Neil Myler 22 Oct '18

22 Oct '18

Hi everyone, Every fall, BU plays host to one of the biggest and most prestigious conferences on language acquisition in the world, the Boston University Conference on Language Development. The conference is student-run, and volunteers are needed for this year's iteration, which takes place November 2-4. Anyone who volunteers for at least four hours of work can attend the conference itself for free! Please contact Emmy DiGirolamo directly at emdg(a)bu.edu if you are interested, letting her know your availability and which of the tasks below you'd like to be considered for. --- Here are the descriptions of the different volunteer opportunities: Handbook copyediting Several volunteers will be needed about two weeks or so before the conference to check the final draft of the conference handbook for errors before it is sent to print. Folder assembling work party Shortly before the conference, volunteers gather to assemble the folder of materials – nametags, handbook, etc. – that will be given to each person attending the conference. This usually takes less than 2 hours and is a decidedly social event. A date for the work party will be set in October. Registration desk We need students to staff the welcome and registration area at the conference, and to greet and register delegates as they arrive and help provide general orientation to the conference site. This requires a short training session. Session Chairs Session chairs work during the conference. In a team of 2-3 volunteers, Session chairs are responsible for the following tasks: 1) Introduce speakers 2) Monitor the timing of each talk 3) Oversee that the talk runs smoothly, and contact one of the conference organizers if help is needed. Book Exhibit The Book Exhibit volunteers will supervise a table of books sent by a Publisher. The volunteers will make sure the table is kept organized, and answer questions that conference attendees might have about the books. This information about the books will be provided to you upon arrival at the conference. ---
