There will be another Student Voice http://nabc.cals.cornell.edu/studentvoice/index.cfm program for graduate students at NABC member institutions. One student from each institution is offered a travel stipend of up to $750 to cover travel and lodging and free meeting registration.
Please advertise this widely at your institutions. Please download the flier http://nabc.cals.cornell.edu/studentvoice/SV10_Flier.pdf to post on bulletin boards. The website with information and application materials is herehttp://nabc.cals.cornell.edu/studentvoice/index.cfm.
The application deadline is April 15, 2013, and the winners should be informed by May 1, so they can make lodging and travel arrangements. The NABC office does not select the winner - you do. In the past, some institutions have offered an additional travel stipend so a second student from the institution could participate. NABC will cover the registration costs for those additional students.
Previous participants have praised the program as a good experience with good networking possibilities.
