EGSO is pleased to announce that our annual graduate conference will be held on Saturday, February 25th, 2012. The theme this year is an interdisciplinary understanding of "Revise, Remix, Recreate," and we'll be sending the call for papers out shortly.
At this point we’re asking for assistance in organizing the conference. It takes a lot of work to plan a conference, and we appreciate all the help we can get! We have several committees set up to organize specific parts of the conference:
