Dear Sir or Madam:

The student employees of Student Technology Services (STS) at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee are pleased to announce the fifth annual conference of its kind, "Innovations for a Dynamic Tomorrow."

The conference will be organized and hosted entirely by the student leaders of STS. It will be held June 24-25, 2004 on the campus of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.

STS is a highly organized student workforce that delivers quality technology services to the UW-Milwaukee campus community. To supplement their classroom education, we seek to empower our student employees through professional development and technical on-the-job training. By participating in the STS program, students - regardless of academic major - are empowered with the technical and professional skills required to successfully perform their work at STS today and in the technology workforce of tomorrow. Please visit the main STS website at http://www.uwm.edu/IMT/STS/ and our conference website at http://www.stsconference.uwm.edu.

The students of STS believe that their success can be your success! We are hosting this conference to show how an organization such as ours can be replicated at your institution. STS is also anxious to hear of other successful models or strategies of organizing and developing student IT workers.

Please submit a maximum 100 word proposal describing your topic, including the benefits it has or could have for student technology workers. Submissions will be selected for a fifty-minute presentation and discussion. E-mail is the preferred method for submissions of presentations. The deadline for submissions is May 24, 2004. The STS Conference Committee will review all submissions and final selections of proposals will be made by May 28, 2004. You will be contacted at that time and asked to submit any handouts for participants. STS will make the appropriate arrangements for your presentation such as copies and audio-visual needs. If you have any questions, email the STS Conference Committee at conferenceteam@uwm.edu.
