Dear Graduate Students,

On May 19th, Georgia Tech will be hosting a party out in the quad for around 300-500 people for the BIO conference that will be in town.  We are looking for 30 volunteers to work the event that evening in three hour shifts 4:00pm- 7:00pm and 7:00pm to 10:00pm.  The event itself is from 6pm-9pm.

Who is invited? Faculty and business professionals from around the state and across the country.

What is in it for you? An invitation to Tech’s largest party which will provide you networking opportunities and a good meal.

What will you be asked to do? There is a wide variety of things that we will need people to do from directing visitors, to registering people as they come in, to moving tables and chairs, to riding shuttles so that the shuttle drivers do not get lost, and posting signs around campus.

Please let me know if you are available, which shift you have a preference for and if you have any physical restrictions: megan.mcdevitt@ibb.gatech.edu

Thanks in advance for your help.
