Dear FEAST grad students, As you may know, the FEAST conference on September 24-27 will include several events geared toward mentoring graduate students. As we work to organize these events, it would help us to have an accurate count of the number of graduate students who will attend the conference. If you plan to attend, please send a quick e-mail, either to me or to Shay Welch. At the conference, an award will be given for the best conference paper by a graduate student. The judging committee for this award will be comprised entirely of graduate students. We invite all graduate students to serve as reviewers. To participate, it is not necessary for you to attend the conference. However, you are not eligible to serve as a reviewer if you are presenting a paper at the conference. We will have more details on the other graduate student events soon. If you would like to help us work on them, please get in touch. All grad students are welcome to volunteer. Thanks. All the best, Shifra Diamond ******* Shifra Diamond Graduate Student Representative, FEAST Conference Committee Ph.D. Candidate, Human Sciences: Program in Language, Culture & Society George Washington University Campus e-mail: [log in to unmask] Home e-mail: [log in to unmask]
