'ISCA Student Advisory Committee (ISCA-SAC) is seeking student volunteers to
help with several interesting projects such as reporting on ISCA related events
and cutting edge research, plan/organize student events at ISCA-sponsored
conferences/workshops, increase awareness of speech and language research to
undergraduate and junior graduate students. 

At the moment, we are particularly looking for someone to help keep our web
resources up to date, e.g. keeping track of upcoming conferences and other
events, or general help with web programming.  However, there are many other
small tasks to be done, each of which would only take up a few hours.  If you
are interested, please contact the ISCA-SAC Volunteer Coordinator at: vo lun te
er [at] isca-students [dot] org.  You can also find more details on our
website: http://www.isca-students.org/blog/involved.'
