Get an insider’s perspective while volunteering as a AAAS student session aide. Students will work closely with the AAAS administrators to ensure that the meeting runs smoothly. The AAAS meeting is a great opportunity for students to see that the scientific community extends far beyond their campus boundaries.

At various events, students can listen to and meet a range of interesting people, including leaders in numerous scientific disciplines, Nobel Laureates, popular authors, government leaders, (including, in previous years, the President, the Vice President, the Secretary of State, the U.S. Surgeon General, and leading officials at NSF), as well as radio and television personalities.

On the whole, the AAAS meeting is an exciting opportunity for science and policy-minded undergraduate + graduate students to be immersed in the world of science as it plays out at the national level.
