Student InformationThe TMS 2005 Annual Meeting & Exhibition offers students, interested in materials science and engineering, a variety of opportunities to gather technical information, explore career possibilities, and network with students and professionals in the field. Student members of Material Advantage or TMS may attend all of the technical sessions, exhibits, and lectures held Monday through Thursday on a complimentary basis. Session MonitorsStudents 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. Monitor positions have been pre-assigned, but each day a limited number of openings will be available to cover cancellations. Pre-assigned students, and students interested in being wait-listed for daily openings, must report to Authors’ Coffee, Level II of the Moscone West Convention Center each morning by 8:00 am. Monitor positions will be assigned on a first-come basis.

At present, this assistance is provided by the Electronic, Magnetic & Photonic Materials Division; the Structural Materials Division; and the Materials Processing & Manufacturing Division. Application Deadline: December 15, 2004. To apply, send a letter of application (e-mail is welcome), stating what meeting you wish to attend and why to the following:
Your letter must mention which division’s technical programming you are interested in and complete information on how you can be contacted. If we cannot contact you, your award will be forfeited.
