Volunteers who facilitate two sessions will receive complimentary admission to the conference, plus a delicious lunch and a fine entry for their resumé.  Student presenters may not serve as volunteers.  Speak to your honors program director about registration, and click here for more information, including specific instructions about facilitator duties at the conference.
