The deadline for event registration and poster abstract submission is April 27th. If you plan to camp, indicate this in the registration poll. To register for the event and optionally submit an poster abstract, please:

1. complete the registration poll, and
2. follow the "Flash Introduction" instructions below to submit a PowerPoint slide for the flash introduction session to this dropbox folder. Like every year, registration for C-WESS is free.

If you did not attend C-WESS last year, or if you wish to update your photo or keywords from last year, please create a power point slide with a photo of yourself and several keywords that represent your research. Here is a sample flash slide, and your campus representative can provide more information on flash introductions. Submit your slides to this dropbox folder: https://www.dropbox.com/request/3dzs9MZBbxcqUHRRKrAW

The meeting will begin at 4:30pm on Friday, May 4 with a keynote address by Bruce Winterhalder and an opening reception with dinner. It will run all day Saturday. On Sunday, the meeting will end with the steering meeting, around 11am. The full schedule will be distributed shortly.

We expect to be able to provide partial or full reimbursement of travel expenses for students who carpool to the meeting. Reimbursements will be provided to the drivers of cars based on mileage traveled. Preference will be given to those who come with full cars and provide transportation for other students. Carpooling also maximizes the reimbursements we can provide, since they will be divided among fewer individuals. Since many of you may be uncertain about your travel details at this time, further information about reimbursements will be distributed at a later date.
