The 2000 TMS Annual Meeting offers students, interested in materials science and engineering, a myriad of opportunities to gather technical information, explore career possibilities, and network with students and professionals in the field.
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. The deadline to submit completed work forms has passed.
TMS Technical Division Student Travel Scholarships: This program sponsored by the TMS technical divisions can help pay your travel expense. Students receiving travel scholarships are responsible for making their own travel and hotel arrangements and registering for the meeting. To apply for travel assistance, send a letter of application and state why you wish to attend the meeting in Nashville, Tennessee. Name the TMS division in whose technical programming you are most interested and include complete information on how you can be contacted. You must be a TMS student member to qualify.
If we cannot contact you, your award will be forfeited. Your letter will be reviewed by a subcommittee of the appropriate sponsoring division, and this group will select the applicants to receive the travel scholarships. Those receiving travel scholarships will be contacted by TMS shortly after a decision is made. The deadline to submit letters of application has passed.
TMS Student Chapters: Don't forget to select a representative and submit the TMS Travel Reimbursement Program form, granting each chapter up to $500 per year to send student(s) to TMS conferences.
