Our History Department and the Dean of the College of Arts & Sciences are cosponsors. Graduate students (4 or 5) are needed to help out on a volunteer basis to assist with greeting conference attendees, working the registration table, and ushering attendees to seating. This is an opportunity to list your work as “Service to the Profession” on your CV’s and to meet and network with important scholars, authors, journal editors, as well as fellow graduate students.*Due to a recent change in the leadership at the Library Company (the host institution) the conference leaders cannot promise monetary remuneration at this time but they are trying to get everyone paid.* To learn more about the conference or to register, visit:
