Planning Meetings

An open meeting for all interested new scholars to discuss the status, goals, and future of the CIES New Scholars Committee was held during the 2008 CIES Annual Conference in New York City following Vandra Masemann and Sandi Stacki’s panel on “Academic Stress and Family Life.” A planning meeting will also be scheduled during the 2009 CIES Annual Conference in Charleston, South Carolina.
