Graduate Student Mixer and Survey

Our outgoing graduate student representative, Lorenzo Giachetti, has organized a casual mixer for PAMLA graduate students on Sunday, November 14th, beginning at 7:30pm, at the Doubletree Alana Bistro & Wine Bar.  If you are a graduate student, please take a moment to fill out this online survey to tell us about your interests.  More details about graduate student participation and the mixer appear below.

Conference Schedule Posted

A tentative conference schedule has been posted.  Thank you for your patience as we've worked to design the program so as to meet everyone’s needs. With approximately 135 sessions and five hundred papers on a wide variety of fascinating topics, this is a conference you won't want to miss.

If you are a presiding officer, chair, or presenter, please check your session information, name, affiliation, paper title, and abstract for accuracy (including words that need to be italicized, for example). If you have corrections or changes, please email  them to svonkin@netzero.com.   Please be as specific as possible.

Note that the program is tentative, and may be changed if we discover errors or scheduling conflicts.

Donate to the Graduate Student Scholarship Fund

If you are looking to do a good deed, think about making a donation (of anything from $5 to $1,000) to PAMLA's Graduate Student Scholarship Fund. You can easily do so by using our Acteva payment system, and your donation will help a deserving graduate student to attend our annual conference. This year, perhaps because of shrinking university support, we received a record-breaking number of scholarship applications, and we at PAMLA have always attempted to help our graduate student members with their professional development. These graduate students are the committed PAMLA members of future years. So, please, if you can find a way, do take a minute to make a charitable donation.
