Here, graduate Students eagerly await the announcement of the awards for graduate student writing and Dr. Nama's keynote address while balancing tea, finger sandwiches, and cookies on their laps.
Friday, Feb. 12 at 2PM, the conference gathered for its "high tea" at which awards are distributed and the keynote speech given. It was an eventful afternoon. Prior to the doors opening, attendees socialized in the atrium where I found my own graduate students from Northeastern State University (Oklahoma). I cornered some of them and had them describe their fund-raising efforts that brought them to the conference. - Bridget Cowlishaw
Tiffany Biggers who appears in this video went on to win the award for best conference paper in American Studies by a graduate student. Congratulations to all the graduate student winners. We will post their names and picture here as soon as it is available.
