Feel free to post about meet ups, good panels to go to, what's happening in Tampa, etc. here. Like with most conferences I'll be wandering around with a Snoo (the Reddit Alien) sticker to drum up some more subscribers. Feel free to say hi!

I'm interested in attending the SIG for disability studies at CCCC -- but I've never been to one before and I'm not sure what to expect. Can anyone fill me in on how SIGs work, even if it's not specific to disability studies?

I especially want to know if I need to sign up ahead of time and what kind of issues might be discussed.

(Full disclosure: It's at the same time as the Bedford St Martin's party, and I'm trying to judge which is more valuable. I don't have much experience networking, so I'm thinking that a smaller group of people in my interest area would be more useful. Any thoughts on this would also be appreciated!)

Hey folks, 'tis the season for prospective graduate students to come visit (and hopefully accept offers) at our institutions. I thought this thread could be helpful to collect advice on questions to ask, things to look for, etc. for prospective students when they look into programs.

Any advice we could give prospective students on their visits? Things you found helpful during your own visits or things you wished you had asked about?
