Each year the Conveners of the various ALISE SIG's (Special Interest Groups) are invited to offer a session at the annual conference.
2001-2002 Doctoral Students SIG Convener, Sharon McQueen (Madison), organized a conference program consisting of a panel of four veteran faculty members who addressed the process of conversion and shared their views on what constitutes a quality presentation. Speaking from experience, panelists addressed what works and what doesn't in the presentation of academic/research papers.

McQueen looks on as Dr. Marie Radford (Pratt) presents.

Doctoral Students to ALISE Award Winners

Doctoral candidate Andrew Wertheimer (Madison) served as the Convener of the Historical Perspectives SIG.

Director Louise Robbins (Madison) served as the Doctoral Students SIG Advisor for 2001-2002. She was caught "cutting a rug" at the All-Conference Reception with local Cajun dancer, Jules Hery.

Dr. Robbins also has a talent for the washboard! She is seen here playing along with Kermit Venable & Beau Bassin Cajun Band. The Doctoral Students SIG raised the funds to hire the band for the All-Conference Reception. (Many thanks, Dr. Robbins, for all your help this past year!)
