Tuesday Student Day

AMTA will host its third annual Student Day at the Salt Lake City Symposium on Tuesday, November 3, 2009.

We will begin with a brief set of tutorials geared towards senior level college students followed by a tour of the exhibits. We will also have recruiter table tops available for those companies that are not exhibitors but are interested in meeting with students between 4 and 6 pm (you must have had at least one AMTA member in your organization in 2008 and 2009 to be eligible). If you are an exhibitor already we will be putting flags out at your booth if you are recruiting new hires. A recruiter table top is only $250 if you are not an exhibitor.

Before attending more talks, dinner will be served to all students and AMTA 2009 attendees in order to allow students to talk to AMTA members in a more relaxed social setting.

The student program is complementary to all students who register to attend. Transportation will be provided to and from Utah State University - Logan, Weber State University – Ogden, Brigham Young University – Provo and the University of Utah – Salt Lake City.
