Tentative List of Sessions
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold your horses, there.
You came back to the convention site looking for the link for the revised schedule, didn't you? No, you won't be sent to a coupon site or Rick rolled when you click on the link below. You will, however, be looking at the final version of the tentative schedule before we put the program to bed. And that means that the Convention Chair must hear from you no later than Wednesday, February 1 if you want to have even a glimmer of hope that a problem can be addressed.
Sponsors, please look for my email about moderator assignments--and pass along the above information to your student members. (Some of you were already planning to write to them and ask what on earth it means to be "Rick rolled," anyway, right?)

From the Convention Chair
1/24/12 - As students and faculty finalize their plans to travel to New Orleans in just over five weeks, they should not forget one of the most important—and money-saving—steps: early registration for convention. Tomorrow (Wednesday, January 25) is the final day for early registration.
Within just a day or two, the more complete schedule will include chair designations, making travel planning even easier. And though the hotel block just filled, rooms may come available as students' plans change. In addition, the website will soon offer suggestions for overflow hotel space. And just today, on a popular discount comparison site, I saw rates rivaling our convention discount at very nice hotels within a 3-block radius of the Marriott.
The details for the 2012 Sigma Tau Delta Convention are falling into place! For more information, visit the convention website, where you will see

Together, we will reawaken our love for the organization and for this discipline.
