This year we will once again feature the Graduate School-Post-Doc-Job Fair. This event will occur from 5:00-6:45 pm on Sunday, July 8, 2007, just before the Plenary Address. As professional members of the BSA, you are invited to represent your department or research program at the Fair. This will be an excellent forum in which to interact with and recruit quality students and professionals.

If you are interested in participating, please contact Scott Schuette at renzlab@siu.edu before June 15, 2007. Indicate what you wish to advertise (your Department, Graduate School, Research Program, etc) and how much space you will require. Displays are limited to a 6’ tabletop display. Also note if you will distribute fliers, brochures or any such documents.

Please put Botany 2007 Fair in the subject line of your e-mail message.

Let's make this event once again, successful.
