2011-2012 Academic Year Events
AISES Gives Back
AISES Gives Back (AGB) is an annual springtime community
service project that was created by The University of
Oklahoma's 2000 AISES Chapter. The main goal of AGB is to
help an area site where children of our community are
impacted every day, such as schools and daycare centers.
With the help of the employees, parents, and other
volunteers, we are able to make the area a better learning
environment as well as a better work environment. Our chapter, sponsors, and
volunteers always have fun at this event. Food, T-shirts, and Good
Company are provided.
AISES National
Conference
The National Conference provides an opportunity for
students and professionals seeking academic, professional,
and career development. This convention is the highlight of
the year for the AISES community. There are workshops geared
toward issues that Native American professionals face in
corporate America, banquets honoring the members who have
excelled, one of the largest career fairs for engineering and
science students, and academically oriented workshops and
seminars.
The career fair at the AISES National Conference is one of
the best in the nation. Students from The University of
Oklahoma have attended the career fair and have received
internships from Lockheed Martin, the Central Intelligence Agency,
Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Chevron Texaco, British Petroleum, the
National Weather Service, and 3M.
Spring Regional
Conference
Every spring, typically in March, one chapter from every
AISES region hosts the region's conference. Regional
conferences provide an opportunity for college chapters, area
high schools, and professionals to receive updates on AISES
programs, activities, and upcoming events, as well as provide
an opportunity for chapters within the region to communicate,
network, and share ideas. Each participating college chapter
delivers an in-depth report of their chapter's completed
activities and plans for upcoming events.
Local and national professionals within a variety of
fields provide workshops, seminars, and discussion groups
about a wide variety of topics. Generally, each Regional
Conference host develops a theme or focus area for the
Regional Conference every year (environmental, bridging
native cultures with science, etc.).
The host of the following spring's regional conference is
determined at the Regional Student Caucus, held at the annual
National AISES Conference. Chapters interested in hosting the
regional conference indicate their interest in hosting, and
make a verbal presentation regarding their resources,
planning, and ability to host the conference. Each chapter is
allowed one vote; the majority of votes determines the
location of the regional conference. To be determined soon.
