So, please do that!

I had been interested in attending this event for a while, now. I’m a former member of the Chadwick High School chapter and am now a student at USC. Since the chapter here seems to have disintegrated since the graduation of Cameron Parkins, I was thinking of trying to start it up again. I would love to attend this event if there is still travel funding available, but I don’t know how I would go about procuring this funding. Just tell me what I have to do! This would be an awesome experience.

Cheers,
Mike

My name is Naheed Hirji, and I am a member of WSIC (Waterloo Students for the Information Commons) from the University of Waterloo in Canada. I have been following the work and projects of SFC, and have recently become aware of this conference.

I feel that the conference would be an amazing learning experience for me, and that I could bring an international perspective to the discussions taking place at the conference. My attending the conference would also allow my organization to network with other organizations who have similar goals.

I have also learned recently that SFC has proposed to cover the travel of interested students to Berkley for the conference. Is there more information that you could give me on this, as it would definitely be helpful.

Thank you very much, and I hope to hear from you soon.

Cheers,
