Dear MAC members, 




If you know anyone in Chicago who is thinking of transitioning from the profession to academia, please let them know about this one-day pre-conference workshop with AEJMC.   (From the AEJMC office: No charge for the Professional to Professor pre-convention workshop. However, we did put it on the registration form but with no charge so we could track attendance.  If someone is only coming for this workshop they do NOT need to stop by registration. So they can simply go to the session's meeting room.)
Sincerely, 
Indira Somani
