Student Volunteers
Student Volunteers are a great source of information about the
conference. They help give the conference a friendly, helpful face
and work hard to assist during the whole conference. Many are
working on their Masters or Ph.D.s and some are looking for job or
internship opportunities. Please be courteous to them and feel
free to ask them questions. You can identify Student Volunteers by
their bright t-shirts.

CHI 2012 welcomes participants from around the world. Please
visit the CHI Information Booth in the Commons or see the
registration desk if you have any questions about the conference.

Any special requirements you may need should be relayed to the
CHI Information Booth by the registration desk at the earliest time

equipped with services for the hearing impaired upon request,
dependent upon the facility’s inventory. For additional assistance,
please check with the Conference Office (Room 10B, Level 3).
