> Subject: CALL FOR PAPERS -- 2009 SPAS Graduate Student Conference
>
>
> Dear Asian-American Programs,
>
> My name is Jonas Estrada, one of the co-directors for the 2009 University of Hawaii at Manoa School of Pacific Asian Studies (SPAS) Graduate Student Conference -- an annual event open to all graduate students from all disciplines who are studying the Asia-Pacific region.
>
> We would like to publicly announce the call for abstracts and paper submissions and invite your graduate students to participate in the conference. This is an excellent opportunity for them to gain experience presenting a research paper in a conference setting and to network with other graduate students and faculty in their field. In addition, there is an opportunity to come home with extra money since each SPAS area center offers a cash prize for best paper or presentation.
>
> We are offering a limited amount of travel grants and stipends for off-island students. Students need only submit an abstract to be considered.
>
> Below you will find the details of the conference. We would appreciate it if you could forward this message to your graduate students and any other relevant program on your campus. Thank you for your time and efforts with this!
>
> Please feel free to contact gradconf at hawaii.edu with any questions, comments or concerns.
