STUDENT REPRESENTATIVES REPORT

Approximately 400 students attended the Aquatic Sciences Meeting in Santa Fe on Feb. 4-9, 2007. For those of you who were unable to attend, here is a brief summary of student initiatives we discussed at the meeting: WHO ARE THE STUDENT REPRESENTATIVES? We are full, elected Board members that vote on all ASLO decisions, and are also responsible for organizing student events online and at meetings. We have three-year staggered terms so that at least one experienced representative is in office at all times. Alex will be finishing his term in 2008, so the election process for the next student representative will begin next summer. If you are interested in running for this position and require more information, please see the article by Letise Houser in the L&O Bulletin at http://aslo.org/bulletin/issues/06_v15_i2.pdf or email us at studentrepsslo.org.
