2007 Annual Meeting | Directors of Graduate Studies Conference
Directors of Graduate Studies Conference
Theme: Maximizing Graduate Student Success
Directors of Graduate Studies (DGS) are important leaders in shaping department policies and opportunities for effective graduate programs. To assist sociologists in the DGS role, the ASA Academic and Professional Affairs Program has planned a series of events from 12:30 pm – 5:00 pm on Friday, August 10, which will dovetail with Chair Conference activities and permit interaction between attendees of both conferences. DGS sessions will focus on such issues as race and ethnicity in the sociology pipeline, effective transitions between stages in graduate school, dealing with conflict resolution, and more.
Access to these special activities for Directors of Graduate Studies requires preregistration and fee payment. Fees are $30 for DGSs from Department Affiliate department, $50 for non-affiliate DGSs. The registration fee includes all conference materials and an afternoon beverage break. DGS conference attendees must preregister for the Annual Meeting in order to register for this conference.
For more details on the DGS conference agenda, contact the ASA Academic and Professional Affairs Program (202-383-9005 x318, apap@asanet.org).
