2003 Committee Report
Terry Sullivan

Vivette Garcia-Diester coordinated the distribution of a survey. [Results, as of November 1, 2003 are as follows: Out of 27 students who filled out the questionnaire in Vienna, 14 joined ISHPSSB because friends or advisors urged them to do so, 9 have been members for more than 2 years and have attended previous meetings, 16 joined the Society recently (presumably in 2003), and only 2 were non-members. A total of 18 students (of the group surveyed) presented a paper in Vienna. Those who did not present a paper were: 2 non-members, 5 recent members, and 2 older members. Fourteen students said they would definitely attend future meetings, 9 said they would depending on the location, and 4 said they would attend only if presenting a paper. There are 133 student members of the society, representing 20 different countries.]
