Students will have the opportunity to partially defray their conference expenses
by serving as session monitors. Monitors are responsible for assisting the session
chair, recording session attendance and assisting with audio/visual equipment.
All monitors must report to the Authors’ Coffee each morning that they are scheduled
to monitor sessions. Monitors positions are limited and will be assigned on
a first-come basis. Any student wishing to monitor, but without a previously
completed work form, may report to Authors' Coffee by 8:00 am in the La Louisiane
Ballroom B/C at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center.
All monitors are required to report to the authors’ coffee each day they are
scheduled to monitor sessions. Each monitor must check in at the desk to obtain
the session sheets and then report to the assigned session table to meet with
the speakers and session chairs. Authors’ coffee begins at 7:15 am, at the Ernest
N. Morial Convention Center in the La Louisiane Ballroom B/C. Monitors who do
not check in before 8:00 am will have their session reassigned.
