Student Orientation and Committee Meeting

This year, the Section social is cancelled. In past years, it was usually held on Monday evenings. This conflicted with socials held by universities and precluded the student committee members from participating. Section members are learning about how other sections are conducting their socials and we will put these lessons learned into practice at the 2009 Annual Meeting. An informal dinner to recognize award winners is being planned. If you are interested in joining the dinner meeting, please contact Amy Carroll Scott at amy.carroll-scott@yale.edu.
