FCRC '03 Student Activities

One of the goals of FCRC '03 is to encourage and support students preparing to enter any of the many fields covered by the
conference. To this end FCRC '03 is organizing several events aimed at exposing students to the research community, while also helping them make contacts and demonstrating their work.

FCRC Student Poster Session

The FCRC poster session is a chance for students to display their work for the community and make contacts with interested members of their field. Students will be selected by individual conferences to participate, and will be given space in one session for a poster display of their work. The session will be held in conjunction with a social event for all conference members, giving the research community an opportunity to view the work participating students.

Students interested in participating should contact the participating conference most relevant to their research.

Date and Time (Tentative): Monday, June 9: 5:30-7:00 and Wednesday, June 11: 5:30-7:00

Location: Grand Foyer / Palm Court

Student/Researcher Breakfast

The student/researcher breakfast will be an opportunity for students to have some more personal interaction with senior researchers in relaxed setting. Participating students will be divided into small groups, each of which will have breakfast with one or two members of the research community on the designated morning.

Students: Both breakfasts are now full. Thanks to all the students who signed up to participate.

Researchers: We are still looking for volunteers to participate in this program. Please contact John Karro if you are interested in participating.

Date and Time: 7:30 a.m. Monday June 9th and Thursday.

Location: Monday, Garden Salon 1. Thursday, Terrace Pavilion.

Networking Panel

The goal of this panel is to identify effective methods for getting the most out of attending conferences by networking. The panel will feature well-known researchers that will describe methods that have worked well for them as well as methods that work when someone meets the panelists for the first time. Further, the panelists will describe some "Do"s and "Don't"s for conference networking.
