Mission

To assist CAMWS in making its organization and annual meeting best serve the needs of its graduate students.

Members

The CAMWS Annual Meeting is well known for providing a comfortable and supportive atmosphere that has helped many young scholars to present their first academic papers. The Graduate Student Issues Committee, made up of several graduate student members of CAMWS, strives to build on the positive role the organization plays in students' nascent professional lives by making the CAMWS annual meetings even more accessible, welcoming, and productive. Most notably, the committee at each annual meeting hosts a student reception and designs a special panel to address students' professional concerns. You may remember us from such panels as "Preparing to Publish" (2004) and "A Blueprint for Success in an Academic Year" (2005).  This year's panel (2006), "Don't Forget Your Towel: Preparing for Success in the Interview Process," will discuss the various aspects of the interview process.
