ACM SIGGRAPH EDUCATION COMMITTEE 1989 SIGGRAPH Careers Survey The ACM SIGGRAPH Education Committee is conducting another careers survey by means of a standardized questionnaire. If you are a member of SIGGRAPH, members will soon receive a copy of the Careers in Computer Graphics Handbook, which contains a copy of the survey in the back of the text. (If you would like to participate sooner, please feel free to request a questionnaire discussed below.) If you are not a member of SIGGRAPH, and you are a working member of the computer graphics community, (this means everyone who has worked at least three months or more) and you would like to participate in the survey, you can acquire the survey in one of two ways: 1. You can send to me your mailing address via email. Please keep the email message brief, as I anticipate I will receive a lot of email requests. stephan@sun.com Subject: SIGGRAPH Survey Request 2. You can mail a request for the form to: Stephan R. Keith ACM SIGGRAPH Education Committee 424 Custer Road Hayward, CA 94544. I have a budget this time to mail these out; however, we ask that you provide return postage to return a completed questionnaire (the survey is four physical pages). If you have filled out a questionnaire before, please do so again, as we will be creating an entirely new data base. The reason we are asking for information from working professionals this time, is because the survey is designed to provide useful information for individuals who wish to make informed career choices. I want to thank all those who participated in the past. The information you provided was extremely valuable for guiding the Education Committee in the development of the Careers in Computer Graphics Handbook. Many thanks for your consideration. Stephan R. Keith -- Other elements of interest: SIGGRAPH '89 will be conducted in Boston. Should you want more information about attending, please contact the SIGGRAPH Management Office at 312/644-6610. You will want to ask for the SIGGRAPH '89 Advance Registration, and be prepared to give them a mailing address. Members of SIGGRAPH will automatically receive the Advance Registration. An Educator's Workshop: Careers in Computer Graphics, may be conducted at SIGGRAPH '89, sometime the Sunday prior to the conference, 30 July 1989. The details are being worked out by the Co-Chairs, and information should be available in the SIGGRAPH '89 Advance Registration booklet should the workshop be finalized. Please do not ask for details, they are not available yet, and they will be announced when they become available; thank you for your patience. SRK -- Stephan R. Keith Sun Microsystems, Inc.
