Dear Computer Society Volunteer: Students often tell us that a faculty mentor introduced them to a professional society ...and a rewarding lifelong career. You can help increase student membership (currently down 3.8%) by inviting your students to join the Computer Society today. Student members receive many benefits to help expand their technical competence and plan for a successful career, including: A free subscription to Computer magazine Eligibility for scholarships and awards Discounts on books, tutorials, and conference proceedings Use of the Career Service Center to post their resume A free newsletter written by and for students And much more. Plus, all students who sign up for 2002 membership now get the remaining months of 2001 for free. Please encourage your students to take advantage of this opportunity. Your students can download 2002 membership applications at http://computer.org/join. I am also happy to send you printed applications, which contain more detailed information, for distribution to your students. Simply contact me via e-mail at m.macoit@computer.org and let me know how many copies you would like along with complete mailing information. Thank you for your help. Sincerely yours, Mark Macoit Membership Department IEEE Computer Society 1730 Massachusetts Avenue, NW Washington, DC 20036 Telephone +1 202 371 0101 Facsimile +1 202 728 9614 m.macoit@computer.org
