The Visitor Studies Association (VSA) is holding its annual conference
in Chicago from  August 3 to 7, and although the deadline for general
proposals is past we are still accepting proposals for a student
marketplace session. This session would allow current and recent
students to showcase their work at the conference. For more information
about VSA or the 1999 conference, please visit our web site at
http://museum.cl.msu.edu/vsa/

The deadline for proposals for the student marketplace session is May
15, and proposals should be sent via email to Steven Yalowitz (VSA
Student Board Member) at [log in to unmask] There are 4 spots
left in the session and the following is a description of the student
marketplace session:

The marketplace will be a chance for students and/or recent students to
discuss, compare, and showcase their research.  The session will be
somewhat less formal than either a presentation or poster session, and
participating in the marketplace will not preclude a person from
presenting that research in another forum at the conference (e.g. you
can do a poster or paper and participate in the marketplace session with
the same research). The basic idea is to give a chance for VSA members
and conference attendees to find out what students are researching or
focusing on, and to talk to the students about their areas of interest.
Typically, a student would be sitting at a table, with handouts if
requested, ready to discuss their research.
