No posts until August 26!

Hello All,

I will be attending the SAA Annual meeting in Washington, DC next week.  I’m looking forward to seeing familiar faces and meeting new people!  If you’re interested, there are some drop-in times available at the Career Center.  (Protip: there are lots of drop-ins available on Friday from 8-12:30!)  Stop by in Maryland A and B to see if you can claim a time!

The week after that, I will be camping with a canoe and no phone signal, so expect radio silence from me until later in the week of August 25.

If you send me a job to post in the interim, I will not be able to post it until I return.  Thanks for your understanding!

Happy Friday,

Meredith
