On Saturday, April 30, I'll be speaking on a panel about graduate student organizing at the Illinois AAUP annual meeting:

Please mark your calendar to attend the joint IL AAUP Annual Meeting and AAUP Collective Bargaining Congress Regional Conference on Saturday April 30, 9:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. The meeting will be held at the Crowne Plaza Chicago Metro, 733 West Madison St., Chicago, Ill. Travel to the Crowne Plaza is easy via Metra, Amtrak, and Megabus. Also, in the past there has often been free parking available on the side streets of Greektown a few blocks west of the hotel (check the street signs).

The conference is free, and will offer many excellent sessions by leaders in the AAUP. Please refer to www.ilaaup.org for more information. If you plan to attend please contact Jennifer Nichols jnichols@aaup.org, so that we will have an accurate headcount for workshop materials and meals. Scheduled speakers include Gary Rhoades and Cary Nelson.

I'll also be speaking at the national AAUP's conference and Annual Meeting on June 8 in DC.
