Student Volunteers: An opportunity for socializing, personal development, and organizing

As the AOSD community continues to grow and mature, there is a great opportunity for young students to get involved and on track to become AOSD's leaders of tomorrow. Contributing as a student volunteer is where many of these leaders start. In 2008, the student volunteer opportunity has become even more attractive, featuring an active social calendar and a mentoring matchup. We expect this year's class of volunteers to be our strongest yet, and we plan to provide events that further develop their leadership skills, social network, and level of experience, grooming them into AOSD's future leaders.
