Social Media Ambassadors Program - 2024 AAAR Annual Conference

Four graduate students or early career researchers will be selected as part of the 2024 Social Media Ambassador Program (SMA) to post about the AAAR conference using AAAR’s LinkedIn. Applications have been extended to July 15, 2024 at 11:59 pm Eastern US time. SMAs will be announced in late July.

Selected applicants will start to serve as AAAR SMAs after meeting with the AAAR Internet Committee. Throughout their time as SMAs, selected applicants will be working with the AAAR Internet Committee for orientation, coordination, access to social media platforms, and debriefing.

To promote the tutorials on Monday, October 21, 2024, SMAs will be able to attend up to two tutorials of their choice for free as well as the subsequent evening event.

SMA duties:

Before the conference: SMAs will post about the Conference in general, including announcements about special symposia and plenary speakers.
During the conference: SMAs will create content and post on LinkedIn to enhance communication with those at the meeting and with non-attending constituencies. These may include session highlights, but may also have a broader focus on interesting activities involving researchers across AAAR.
One SMA will be designated to each plenary, and the posts shall include the name of AAAR award winners as they are announced onstage.
Each SMA shall be expected to produce about five posts per day for each day of the conference.
Additional social media posts may be made on an SMA's own personal account(s).

SMAs will receive free registration for the Conference plus a $500 travel grant if they stay in the conference hotel or a $300 travel grant if they stay elsewhere.
