Student Support and Involvement
We the SIL2010 congress organizers are committed to involve as many as possible students in this the first SIL congress on the African continent.
Pre-graduate students may apply as volunteers to help run the congress as smoothly and efficient as possible. Volunteers will have access to the exhibition area and all lectures if they are not busy with some task. Application to become a volunteer is made to the organizers as indicated below.
