CDFSC Conference - thank you! (and 2027 planning!)

[Michelle Napierskiprancl]

Friends and Colleagues,

It's been a couple of weeks and I'm finally sitting down to send a thank you for an amazing conference! More than 90 people were in attendance over the course of the day and we heard from a wonderful collection of paper and poster presentations. Thank you to everyone who made the day a success from the abstract review committee to the presenters as well as the time keepers, session presiders, and student helpers. And we could not have done it without the help of a variety of Russell Sage campus offices from the Dean's office to facilities - thank you!

In addition, we collected 48 bras for I Support the Girls  https://isupportthegirls.org/  - thank you!

Please know that we are already planning for 2027. Is your institution interested in hosting? A couple of schools have expressed interest in hosting 2027 or 2028 which is great but if you think your institution might want to host next year or sometime in the near future, please reach out to me or Gwen D'Arcangelis. We want to continue to share the opportunity to host on a rotating basis. Or perhaps you are just thinking about a future conference - let us know that too as it would be great to include you in on some of the planning sessions so you'll have some understanding of what's involved. And don't forget, Gwen and I are happy to help with each step of planning a conference at your institution.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Best,

Michelle

Thank you so much for your organizing! I enjoyed the opportunity to present and mingle for a minute. Kindly, Kyra
