We will have representatives from State and Federal Agencies, Tribes, Consultants, Education, NGOs, and Fishing guides ready to tell you what it is like to work in their sector.

AIFRB Agrees to Judge Student Papers and Posters at the Annual Meeting Once again, the American Institute of Fishery Research Biologists (AIFRB), Northern California District, will be judging the student papers and student posters for the 2003 Annual Meeting of the Western Division of the American Fisheries Society and the California/Nevada Chapter - AFS. This year, the Southern California District of the AIFRB also will be assisting in the judging. All senior authors who are bona fide students and are presenting a paper during a symposia from Tuesday, April 15th (1:00 pm) through Thursday, April 17th (4:50 pm) are eligible to win big bucks for Best Student Paper and for Runner-up Best Student Paper. Best Student Poster and Runner-up Best Student Poster will also be judged, but the senior author must be a student. In order to qualify, the senior author (or a junior author) must be present during the official poster judging session. We will need from all symposia leaders, a listing of all student presenters, the student's academic institution, and the time of their presentation, as soon as the information is available, but at least two weeks prior to the meeting. In addition, anyone who is interested in helping to conduct the student judging, please let me know as soon as possible. Please send me your name, and if you already know, the times or the symposia you are available to judge. Symposia leaders, please email their student presenter list; and willing judges, please email your name and times/symposia you are available to judge to: Tom Keegan, Director - AIFRB, Northern California District of AIFRB (TKeegan@ecorpconsulting.com) Students may volunteer to reduce or waive registration fees. Reimbursement will be one day of free registration for each 2 hours of volunteer work. So for example, you would have to work 8 volunteer hours to waive all registration fees. Volunteer work includes operating av equipment during sessions, assisting at the registration desk, assembling and dismantling poster boards, assisting at the registration desk, and other activities. A number of rooms will be available at the Dana Inn for student lodging. The Dana Inn is located across the street from the Hyatt Islandia. AFS has secured several rooms which will be made available to students free of charge. Students who are volunteering at the conference will get first priority for the free lodging. The free rooms can accommodate up to four people and room sharing will be required. Once all of these rooms are completely filled, there will be additional rooms (which can also accommodate up to four people) available for a special student rate of $99 per night. The free lodging and special rates will only be available on Sunday through Wednesday April 13th-17th. If you are interested in either volunteering or student lodging contact Fred Feyrer (ffeyrer@water.ca.gov or 916-227-2552) with the following information: (1) Name, email, and phone number (or any other means to contact you) (2) How many hours you would like to volunteer, and the times which you either can not or wish to not to do volunteer work (3) If you are interested in student lodging, which days you need a room. Students don't miss out, this Student/Faculty social is sponsored by UC Davis AFS Student Group and is the perfect opportunity to interact with peers and faculty members in a relaxed atmosphere. So, after you've checked out the employment opportunities at the job fair and presented your poster at the social, come on up to the Penthouse Suite for some fun and refreshments. Just as a reminder, the penthouse can only accessed by the penthouse elevator, which will be programmed to allow social participants access from 8:00 to 10:00 pm.
