Volunteer at 2017 Energy Thought Summit in Austin

Zpryme is running an Energy Thought Summit conference 27 – 30 March 2017.  They are looking for student volunteers to help with the conference.  You can learn more about the event at their conference website, including a draft agenda for the 4 days of the conference.

Volunteers are free to attend the entire event, which will be held in several venues downtown.  Zpryme is looking for students who volunteer 4 – 8 hours over the 4 days of the conference.

Faculty can get discounted admission if they organize a group of 4 – 5 student volunteers, or totally free admission for groups of 6.

Contact David Drew at Zpryme for more information.

As will all posted off campus opportunities, St. Edward’s and NSCI are simply passing along information and by doing so, provide no endorsement of the organizations or guarantee of the kind of experience you will have. Interested parties are advised to do their homework to figure out if the opportunity is a good fit.
