The Graduate Lounge
The Graduate Student Issues Committee (GSIC) cordially invites all NERA graduate student members to attend the GSIC Session at the 39th Annual Conference on Thursday afternoon, October 23, 2008, at the Hartford Marriott, Rocky Hill, Connecticut. After our successful GSIC session in October 2007 – publishing in professional journals and exploring career options – we are now planning the second GSIC session around common interests of graduate students. Our session this year will focus on how to construct a good curriculum vita/resume and tailor it across different job areas (academics, education, private organizations/corporations); and how to prepare for an interview. Expert guest speakers will talk about their experiences and recommendations. There will be a question and answer section at the end of the session where attendees will be able to address their individual needs and concerns. A flyer with the details about the GSIC Session will be provided to all graduate students at the registration desk. Besides organizing the GSIC session, GSIC is planning the election of the committee members for 2008-2009. Announcements for committee openings will be posted on the NERA website in September (please check http://www.nera-education.org/gsic.php). GSIC 2008-2009 membership will be finalized following the conference in October and
announced in the NERA Researcher.
Best Paper by a Graduate Student Award Competition
We would like to encourage all graduate students to participate in the 2008 Best Paper by a Graduate Student Award Competition. The deadline for submission will be within one week of the end of the 2008 NERA Conference. An announcement about the award will be sent to all NERA graduate student members beginning October 2008, and will also be posted on the NERA website.
