  • There are 138 registrants as of this morning – 48 are students. 
  • Ipek will present AAPOR slides before keynote. Aim to keep talk to about 5 minutes. 
  • Evgenia will announce the Student Fellowship Program. Those who are accepted into the program will receive some type of travel stipend to attend the conference. We can determine the amount at a later date. Ten fellows have agreed to take part. We will match students with appropriate fellows based on content and interest.

  • Justine will head the speed networking group. Kevin will add her as the moderator of that session. 
  • Practice sessions have been set up for the meetings and webinars on Zoom. The host of those meetings should practice to be ready for the main events.
