Graduate Student Symposium

"The main goal of this symposium is to profile graduating students moving on to the next stage of their careers, and allow them a longer time slot to feature their research. To be eligible, students must have defended in the last year or plan to defend within one year of the meeting. Ideally, the topic of the presentation should be related to the theme of the meeting: Entomology: A Celebration of Life's Little Wonders. Current graduate students who participate in this symposium are also eligible to compete for the President's Prize; however, it is required that the symposium topic and President's Prize talk or poster be substantially different.

Help is needed to identify the most promising speakers for this symposium. If you are an eligible student interested in participating, or if you know of someone that would be suitable, please contact Tonya Mousseau (tmoussea@ucalgary.ca) or Tyler Cobb (tcobb@ualberta.ca). Please reply with your expression of interest and the title of your proposed talk by 15 June 2005. Full details will be available at the ESC website in the student section, http://esc-sec.org/students.htm "
