[Air-l] CFP: Graduate Student Research Group

[Elizabeth Van Couvering]

Hi all,

I for one welcome the interest that AOIR has in supporting graduate  
students.  I don't know exactly what Ted and the exec have in mind -  
I confess because I am not very involved and haven't been reading the  
grad student list -   but perhaps if we all acknowledge that we are  
pulling in the same direction - towards substantive contributions by  
and acknowledgement of junior scholars - then we will all move  
forward to those goals.

Peace,

Elizabeth
