GRAD NEWS FOR APA:

Rachel Whitmer

University of California Davis

It's time once again to get geared up for APA!!! This year's convention is an ideal time to get involved with Division 20, because it is the 50th anniversary. This is an exciting time for the Divison, and students should take advantage of the opportunities for involvment offered. In addition to the cruise event, Division 20 is also sponsoring a social hour-come meet your colleagues! Lisa Jenkins, the post doc representative, and myself will have a table set up with Division 20 information and materials to join. In addition we will also be planning upcoming conference student workshops for the next Gerontological Society meeting and next APA. Please give us your input as to what you would like to see offered.

We highly urge you to join; for first time student members, the membership fee is waived, how can you turn down a free membership that includes the Division 20 newsletters? If you have any specific questions about Division 20 student events and activties feel free to email me, or check out our web site; otherwise I will see you in Toronto!
