[Poscgrad] PSA Emerging Scholars Nominations

[Donald Zarate]

Greetings Graduate Students,

I hope you enjoyed your weekend and are ready for Session A!

I am sorry to reach out to you again regarding this opportunity, but *we
have not received any submissions for the Spring term*. We aim to recognize
ten students in the department for their work (*undergrads *as well as
*graduate
*students), so please encourage your primary instructors to
nominate someone at your earliest convenience.
